FAQ
In 2024, California passed several bills strengthening and refining existing laws to facilitate better implementation, including improvements to the state's gun violence restraining order law, secure storage laws, and reporting on firearm dealer inspections.
Location Restrictions in California. A U.S. citizen or legal resident over age 18 may generally carry a handgun anywhere within his or her place of residence, place of business, or on private property owned or lawfully possessed by the citizen or legal resident.
However, U.S. Supreme Court decisions of Heller (2008) and McDonald (2010) established that the Second Amendment applies to all states within the Union, and many of California's gun laws are now being challenged in the federal courts.
Forty-four states have a provision in their state constitutions similar to the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which protects the right to keep and bear arms. The exceptions are California, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, and New York.
Seek a Gubernatorial Pardon Pardon Process: A pardon is an official forgiveness for a crime, granted by the Governor of California. It restores certain rights, including the right to own and possess firearms. Eligibility: Typically, you need a Certificate of Rehabilitation.
To get your gun rights back you'd need a California pardon based on a Certificate of Rehabilitation and a finding of innocence. This should satisfy the Federal government,though I must warn you they are difficult if not virtually impossible to get. You would have to apply to the governor for a pardon.
Thus, even if you have had a conviction expunged in California, you will still have the ban if that conviction was for a felony or for a qualifying misdemeanor that triggered either a ten-year or lifetime ban on owning or possessing a firearm. Unlawfully owning or possessing a firearm is a crime.
Prop 47 Does Not Restore Firearm Rights A Prop 47 reduction from a felony to a misdemeanor will not restore your firearm rights. In order to restore your firearm rights, you will first need to reduce your felony to a misdemeanor for all purposes under Penal Code 17b, not Prop 47.

In recent years, Washington has made significant progress on gun safety, passing a number of lifesaving pieces of firearm legislation. Gun laws in California regulate the sale, possession, and use of firearms and ammunition in the state of California in the United States. California became the first state in the nation to call for a Constitutional Convention for gun safety. Gun owners in California can no longer carry firearms into amusement parks, museums, churches, zoos, banks, public parks or a whole slew of other places. I voted against the Democrat "assault weapons" bill that passed out of the Senate, but first tried to amend the legislation. Under what circumstances can a person who is between 18 and 21 years old possess a pistol or semiautomatic assault rifle? As a lifelong hunter and gun owner, I believe in a law-abiding individual's right to own a firearm.
