Any news on this? I just read random comments about it but I can't seem to find any legitimate information about what Bonta did in response, where it stands currently
 
Looks like there's a 30 day stay that should be expiring soon. We'll find out more next week.
 
It exempts both from the handgun 1-in-30 and from the centerfire semi-auto long gun (which in practice means black or military rifles). See PC 27535(b)(9).
Note that the 1-in-30 is currently up in the air, with a lawsuit, injunctions, appeals, and all those things. No idea where this will end up, and I refuse to predict whether the legislature will react to the court case by coming up with new and "better" laws.

Can we buy 2 guns in one month if one of them is a PPT?

Generally, yes in 2024.

The City of Los Angeles has its own 1-in-30, so order of operations is key: buy/PPT inside the City, then buy/PPT outside the City. That way, LA does not know about a prior transaction.

But the 1-in-30 exemption for PPT goes away Jan 1, 2025; the exemption at PC 27535(b)(8) is then deleted. (There are TWO versions of 27535 on line. One is repealed Jan 1, 2025, the other takes effect Jan 1, 2025.)

The C&R license + COE exemption is preserved at 27535(b)(10) on Jan 1, 2025.

Will we still be exempt from 1 in 30 I'm 2025 if we get ffl03+COE?

That's what "The C&R license + COE exemption is preserved at 27535(b)(10) on Jan 1, 2025." means, yes.
 
I think threads like this need to be updated (by someone more knowledgeable than me) as things change. The 1 in 30 is not in place now. Newbies looking for information could be led astray.

Agree. The 1 in 30 rule is gone now. Buy as many guns as you want whenever you want.
