SACRAMENTO, CA –-(Ammoland.com)- Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) has confirmed that the California Department of Justice (DOJ) has withdrawn their proposed “emergency” regulations on large-capacity magazines.
A December 29, 2016 Office of Administrative Law (OAL) memo, sent to Attorney General Kamala Harris today, states that “This notice confirms that your proposed regulatory action regarding Large-Capacity Magazines was withdrawn from OAL review pursuant to Government Code section 11349.3(c).”
Section 11349(c) states that:
If an agency determines, on its own initiative, that a regulation submitted pursuant to subdivision (a) should be returned by the office prior to completion of the office’s review, it may request the return of the regulation. All requests for the return of a regulation shall be memorialized in writing by the submitting agency no later than one week following the request. Any regulation returned pursuant to this subdivision shall be resubmitted to the office for review within the one-year period specified in subdivision (b) of Section 11346.4 or shall comply with Article 5 (commencing with Section 11346) prior to resubmission.
“This is welcomed news for law-abiding gun owners and the thousands of people who stood up for common-sense in their letters opposing the DOJ’s outrageous proposed regulations,” said FPC President Brandon Combs. “But make no mistake, the DOJ isn’t done with this issue. Our policy team will continue to aggressively monitor and oppose all anti-gun regulations that DOJ might dream up next.”
As part of its grassroots lobbying program, Firearms Policy Coalition recently collected and delivered to DOJ and OAL thousands of letters sent by people who opposed the proposed regulations.

Black eye for the AG?
Disclaimer: not physical but a legislative one.
Misleading article, the “Emergency Ban” which would take effect right away will not happen, but the ban that was passed will still go into effect on July 1 2017. This is NOT a win for gun owners.
Just a temporary issue–they will go for it. By the way to see the lies of of liberal Democrats–the greatest anti-gun Democrat Party senator in that goofy state was Leland Yee. Check on Google what this liberal Democrat did for years and is now doing.
The road to hell is paved with ulterior motives.
Good for You
What we need now is for the Republican controlled congress to pass a bill that states that no state or local government can impose any restrictions; on rights given to citizens by the constitutional.( Including the bill of rights )
Trump needs to sign this bill!
With this bill we would not need a national right to carry a gun anywhere in the U.S.
Keep your guard up!! CA would not drop this without something else in the works!!
