Comifornia gun question???

[Atrain1]

Wow you can have a FN 5.7 but not a Taurus TCP. And Cobra Patriot 45 and all the cheap saturday night specials. The gun list is stupid.

Ok she is in Solano County. I grew up there. Vallejo is terrible, think Mad Max. No way she is getting a permit there. The good news is as long as the weapon is legal most cops don't care of you carry and it is a class b misdemeanor. So in Vallejo I used to carry permit or no.

Not true the last time I checked. It is prosecutor discretion whether to prosecute as a felony or misdemeanor.

Sorry you are misinformed. The only time that this is a wobbling charge, one that can go either way is if there are aggravating circumstances. For instance an assault charge. Otherwise it is a simple misdemeanor that is easy to beat.

A far as kids in the house. When I was growing up in the 70-80's in the farming area of Solano everyone had guns, no one locked them up and kids knew not to touch them without dad's permission. That was a different world though. How old is your daughter? If old enough she should be doing training with mom. I started shooting at 5 years old. For home forget the trigger locks and get one of those biometric handgun safes. They are not more than $150. If you want to get the gun for her, have her go to one of the indoor ranges that rent guns and have her try out a selection. There are a number of good shops near there. Then once she is comfortable with one send her the money.

Remember we are talking about CA not CO. Their mentality is similar to the UK when it comes to guns. Use the gun in self defense and you are the criminal. EVERYTHING hinges on what county you live in.
The ownership of a gun is worlds apart from LA to San Bernadino to Fresno counties. In one cty you sign up for a CCW class and within 60 days (not incl 10 day wait) you have a ccw. In another don't waste you time.
The penalty while state mandated are then viewed by the DA who has your future in their hands.

There are down sides to a revolver, the biggest is round capacity. The up side is a revolver is a no brainer when it comes to operating it. Like that old camera ad. Point and Shoot. 5 rounds in a situation knowing how to use it trumps 7-17 rounds with too many oops factors.

Gun safety is universal, yet in CA your gun does not have a trigger lock and in safe storage, Jail Time, once again depending on what cty depends on how sever a penalty you receive. They cannot sell you a gun in CA unless you receive instruction on the proper use of a trigger lock

A good pepper streaming canister (not spray) such as the MK IV that is mfg in wyo produces a solid 20' + stream of slow down to stopping power. This might allow them to flee a scene safely. Great use in a home where children are. Out in the genpop 5-6 shot revolver is a great confidence enhancer for the less trained and comfort level shooter.
EVERYTHING will be determined by what the X feels comfortable with. Some women just don't like revolvers or pistols. Find out what works then go from there.

There are two other things I didn't mention in my previous post.

First is that the Handgun Safety Certificate isn't that big of a deal. It costs $25, is good for 5 years, and any place that sells handguns is required to give the test. It just takes a few minutes for a few pretty easy questions and a quicker handling test. Turner's Outdoorsman is a suprisingly good resource for this stuff. http://www.turners.com/engage/video_study_guide.php is a video guide and http://www.turners.com/engage/faq.php#a is a general faq to California gun ownership. I applaud them for making things as easy and clear for California shooters.

Second, and most importantly, I really hope things work out for them and your daughter remains safe. Mostly that it happens without either of them ever needing a gun.

As stated, have her go to a gun shop there and get one, it's much easier. If you try to buy one here and have it shipped to her FFL there, the FFL here has to do a small load of shitty paper work to get it sent into Comifornia, it's not like most other states. All of the FFL's here in the Taint refuse to send anything there because of the paper work.

Your ex..

FAIL.

I am looking for a Taurus TCP for my ex in California. She has had some shady people follow her around, and I want her to be able to protect my Daughter.

Your ex..

FAIL.

Does that make it more clear for you?

Thanks for the your help guys. What about carrying it in her car? I know one of the biggest things would be piece of mind at home, so that alone would be worth 300.00 to her. I have heard really bad things about the Cobra Patriot 45 acp, and some good things. Jeff from Gunblast seems to like it, as far as I know he seems to know his stuff. I ask cause that is one of the only smaller 45's on the list of guns.
