If that's for a simple possession permit rather than a CCW permit then California is worse than New Jersey, which is very repressive on gun possession (even a bb-gun is considered a firearm).Im looking at guns. I want one. BUT...after checking all over california, ya gotta jump thru so many hoops, its ridiculous! Being a criminal is easier to get a gun than a "law abiding" citizen.
Gotta take a frigging test after studying a stupid book they loan ya, gotta prove you can handle a firearm, gotta load and unload just so or fergit it, gotta find a place that doesnt charge ya an extra 100 bucks to register it, gotta pay 25 bucks for a background check, gotta wait 10 days and even then TPTB may deny ya, gotta get an affidavit you have a California Approved lock box, and ya hafta have a safetly lock before you can fetch it out of the shop IF you are approved.
WTF???? No wonder I hate California. Is it like that in other states or are we the only ones that stink?
But I must say I approve of the knowledge and handling tests. Because a firearm, especially an automatic pistol, in unfamiliar hands is a menace.
I know how to fire guns and I know how to do it safely. Its the FEES. By the time ya buy a 300 buck gun (IF you can find one that cheap), it winds up costing ya 700.
