San Carlos, CA (December 23, 2011) – The Calguns Foundation has filed a federal lawsuit against the California Department of Justice and Attorney General Kamala Harris challenging the policy of requiring gun owners to wait at least 10 days before taking possession of an additional firearm. The case is entitled Jeff Silvester et. al. vs. Kamala Harris, et. al.

The Calguns Foundation is joined in the lawsuit, filed today at the District of California Federal District Court in Fresno, by the Second Amendment Foundation and three individual plaintiffs.

FMJ is that 10 day wait for ALL firearms or just handguns?

Then again, in some places they can't sell booze on Sundays.

do you have to wait to get black powder guns

and that just brought down the reason for the 10 day wait period. I personally think all the people should get out of california. All it seems to be is a snowball rolling down hill, headed for hell.

That's too bad FMJ. I served in the Pasadena & East L.A. areas as an LDS missionary back in the mid 80's and I loved California.

 An elderly friend of mine, who served as a test pilot back in the late 50's, told me that once upon a time California used to be quite a conservative state. Hard to believe now.

I second what FMJ mentioned about some areas still being conservative. Im fortunate enough to live in the central valley, and if you didn't know better, you'd be hard pressed to believe you were in CA based on the politics of the population. At least here I can get a CCW

I guess to a certain degree it mimics the rest of the country, with the coasts and large population centers being liberal, but the vast majority of the geographical area is awash in blue/conservative. Here we have LA and San Francisco with their liberal mindset, but the vast majority (geographically) of the rest of the state is much mire conservative, but for a few urban areas. But regardless, the urban population centers control the rest of the state.
Bill

Let us not forget that the lawn order Republicans in California were responsible for the building blocks of gun control here in this state.  It was a Republican controlled legislature that gave us shall issue CCW, DROS and the first waiting periods in 1923.  Then in 1967 they banned loaded open carry.

Just about everything else has been "fine tuning".

Yeah ... That's why I said 'conservative' and not 'republican.'

Bill

Up until the late 1970's or early '80's, conservatives in California favored gun control as long as the impact was mostly on "those people".  In California, those people were usually the dreaded hispanics, asians and blacks.  The rhetoric surrounding the 1923 laws was openly aimed at Mexican and Chinese immigrants and, to a lesser exent, leftwing groups like the IWW. It was equally obvious that the 1967 law, introduced by David Mulford, was aimed at disarming the Black Panthers who carried guns while video taping police encounters in Oakland. The Mulford Act was signed into law, with great praise, by Ronald Reagan whom, you may remember, thought the Brady Bill was a good idea.

Why I'm for the Brady Bill. Opinion piece by Ronald Reagan in the New York Times. March 29, 1991.

While conservative politicians may oppose some of the more egregious examples of gun control now, past behavior gives me many reasons to believe that is little more than political posturing.
