4 hours live fire now and won’t be in effect till Jan 1 2029, guess those without CCW gotta renew there FSC card by December but I bet even by 2034 the 💩 show still gonna be going on trying to get a class.
 
Senate Bill 1220 (Hurtado) — Firearms: prohibited persons

Summary: Known as the Peace Officer Protection Act, this law cracks down on the proliferation of unregistered firearms.

It specifies that individuals convicted of certain misdemeanor ghost gun offenses are automatically subject to California's existing 10-year ban on owning or possessing any firearm.
 
Blows my mind that people on this forum vote for and like this stuff.

How do you get the gun for the class for the FSC or will schools with full rental fleets have to pop up? Completely unconstitutional. Wish we could go 1800's on these guys

There’s a non zero chance someone who manufactured a firearm when it was legal loses their rights because they just weren’t keeping up with the law.

Not right.
 
Everyone here is griping about Newsom — and rightly so — but don’t forget about the Democrats in the legislature who created and passed the bills in the first place.
