They are incredibly strict, and no.... no special license for me.
You cant have a semi automatic rifle with the ability to accept detachable magazines, and any one of the following: pistol grip, flash hider, carrying handle, collapsable stock, folding stock, under barrel launcer, bayonet mount, or grenade launcher at muzzel.
.50 bmg rifles are illegal, for some reason the .50AE desert eagle is illegal, but the .500 S&W revolver isnt
Shotguns can only have a 2 in the tube one in the barrel capacity. Teflon ammo is illegal. 5.7x28 ammo is illegal.
Theres some more but i cant remember
Most of the laws here were grandfathered so while it is illegal to sell and manufacture new models of certain guns, in california, in general t is not illegal if you had them prior to the law being passed. Most of them i bought from other people, not through stores.
Another loophole, the law often bans guns by their specific name... i.e. the Intratec TEC-9 is illegal period in california, and is actually required to be turned it to the police if you own one (they reimburse you fair market value). SOooo, Intratec made a model called the AB-10, mechanically almost identical to the TEC-9, but it ships with a 10 round magazine (although it can take mags up to 50 rds) an bypasses the ban.
Any magazine over 10 rounds is illegal here, so when i go to the range, i take a 5 or 10 round mag for my M1, AK, TEC, M4 etc... If im out on a ranch 50 miles out from town, yeah ill pull out one of the 30 rounders or something.
