CA, “leading the way,” once more!
CA’s AG maintains a “Roster of Handguns Certified for Sale.” As you might imagine, the list of handguns that may be legally purchased in CA is continuously shrinking!
The state, through its justice department, has functionally established the goal of phasing-out the lawful purchase of all autoloading pistols (regardless of capacity) by citizens, including retired LEOs. No timetable has been officially set, but most believe the list of “decertified” handguns will include all autoloaders by the end of 2019.
Ultimate status of existing handguns in private possession, that have been subsequently dropped from the “List,” is currently unknown, but forced confiscation is a safe bet!
Thus before long, CA residents may be looking to 7/8-shot 38/357 revolvers currently manufactured by S&W and Ruger for home defense, and 5/6-shot revolvers for carrying, such as the Kimber K6, new Colt Cobra, Ruger LCR, and S&W’s 340PD 5-shot snubby
It may be no coincidence that Colt is currently re-introducing its 6-shot Cobra revolver (38Spl), Kimber came out with their excellent K6 revolver (357Mg), and Ruger has recently introduced its eight-shot Redhawk (357Mg)!
Before it is all over, the Supremes may rule, in five years, maybe twenty. In the interim, down here in peon-land, all we can do is prepare and otherwise look after our own best interests, a strategy which may include moving to another state!

Problem with people from CA and the NE area is they bring their liberal ideas with them and corrupt the free states they move into, when escaping their liberal paradise. Please stay away!!
I am a Californian, I WILL STAND MY GROUND and pray for others to do like wise. I fought the communist in Vietnam in 68-69, didn’t run them, WON’T RUN NOW. SEMPER FI MARINES
COME AND TAKE THEM FROM MY COLD DEAD FINGERS……
I grew up in California back in the good old days. I remember Moonbeam’s father as governor and Alan Cranston (Senator) begin to take the state down even back then. Now the state is hopelessly lost. I moved out of that toilet back in 1985 and never looked back. I would suggest to all other states to send their welfare cases, illegal immigrants and criminals to California where they will be welcomed with open arms into their sanctuary cities. (Isn’t that the compassionate PC thing to do?) Then the rest of us can get on with our lives and actually… Read more »
The Second Amendment is in place TO ENABLE THE “CAPABILITY” of Americans, through ownership of EFFECTIVE firearms, to collectively KEEP SECURE THEIR FREEDOMS AND PROVIDE THEIR SECURITY. Americans are not helpless to the subjugation of totalitarian rule.

AND EVERYONE COMPLIES – SURRENDERS THEIR FIREARMS – INCREMENTALLY IF NOT TOTALLY . . . THEY WILL GLADLY TAKE EVERYTHING WE ARE WILLING TO COMPLY WITH SURRENDERING!!! THE MORE WE WILLINGLY SURRENDER – THE MORE THEY… Read more »
Just a slow method of banning all handguns. It’s still a GUN BAN!!
I was born and raised in the bay area. 50+ years in the bay. I was raised with a loaded, full auto hanging in the closet. I got my hunting license at 13 years old. I was taught at a young age to respect and appreciate firearms. I was using a firearm to make a living at 16 years old. I have lots of guns! Not everybody in california is a left-wing idiot. Yet where I live I can’t get a permit to carry. Me and my family have had enough of this democrat majority bullshi*. We are selling our… Read more »
