Default 2013 CA SB 755 - Wolk - Firearms: used firearms

Adds more misdemeanors to the 10-year prohibition on firearm or ammunition possession.

http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/fa...arch_keywords=

Quote:
SB 755, as introduced, Wolk. Firearms: prohibited persons.


(1) Existing law, subject to exceptions, provides that any person who has been convicted of certain misdemeanors may not, within 10 years of the conviction, own, purchase, receive, possess, or have under his or her custody or control, any firearm. Violation of this prohibition is punishable by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year or in the state prison, by a fine not exceeding $1,000, or by both that imprisonment and fine.

This bill would add to the list of misdemeanors, the conviction for which is subject to those prohibitions, misdemeanor offenses of threatening a peace officer, removing a weapon from the person of a peace officer, hazing, transferring a firearm without completing the transaction through a licensed firearms dealer, furnishing ammunition to a minor, possession of ammunition by a person prohibited from having a firearm, furnishing ammunition to a person prohibited from possessing ammunition, carrying ammunition onto school grounds, carrying a loaded or concealed weapon if the person has been previously convicted of a crime against a person or property, or of a narcotics or dangerous drug violation, or if the firearm is not registered, participation in any criminal street gang, a public offense committed for the benefit of a criminal street gang, disobedience to the terms of an injunction that restrains the activities of a criminal street gang. By changing the definition of a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

(2) Under existing law it is a felony for any person who has been previously convicted of any specified violent offenses to own or have possession or custody or control of any firearm.

This bill would additionally make it a felony for any person to own or possess a firearm if the person has been convicted of 2 or more crimes within a 3-year period and was found to have been under the influence of drugs or alcohol during the commission of the crimes, if the person has been convicted of possessing any controlled substance for sale, or if the person has violated any protective order that was issue due to a threat of violence. By expanding the definition of a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

(3) Existing law prohibits certain specified individuals, including a person who has been adjudicated a danger to others as a result of a mental disorder or mental illness, a person who has been adjudicated a mentally disordered sex offender, a person who has been found not guilty by reason of insanity, or a person who has been placed under conservatorship by a court, among others, from possessing firearms or deadly weapons.

Existing law authorizes a court to order a person to obtain assisted outpatient treatment if certain criteria are met, including that the person is suffering from a mental illness and is unlikely to survive safely in the community without supervision.

This bill would prohibit a person who has been ordered by a court to obtain assisted outpatient treatment from purchasing or possessing any firearm or other deadly weapon while subject to assisted outpatient treatment. The bill would require the court to notify the Department of Justice of the order prohibiting the person from possessing a firearm or other deadly weapon within 2 days of the order, and to notify the Department of Justice when the person is no longer subject to assisted outpatient treatment. Because a violation of this provision would be a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

(4) Existing constitutional provisions require that a statute that limits the right of access to meetings of public bodies or the writings of public officials and agencies be adopted with findings demonstrating the interest protected by that limitation and the need for protecting that interest.

This bill would make a legislative finding and declaration relating to the necessity of treating reports to the Department of Justice as confidential in order to protect the privacy of individuals ordered to obtain assisted outpatient treatment.

(5) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

Haze a potential frat brother, lose your right to self-defense for 10 years. Yeah, that's totally fair. /sarcasm

So if you commit/committed two or more crimes in a three year period and were not intoxicated are your 2nd amendment rights still taken away? Or is it if you committed two crimes within a three year period they take your rights away?

(example) Lets say if someone got misdemeanor reckless driving + street racing while sober they would essentially loose there 2nd amendement rights? Or is if you were intoxicated at the time of the crime? Then lets also say the reckless driving + street racing charge is dismissed @ a later date; would this law still apply to that person?

I'm just confused about the wording. If its two crimes and your gun rights are stripped then it opens the flood gates for a few people.

That would make 2 dui's? In 3 years? Or is this in context to #2?

Is it just DUI's or all crimes?

Also what if those crimes are dismissed at a later date through expungement in California. Are your gun rights still stripped?

Two or more crimes and you were drinking or taking something. It’s NOT limited to DUI's – just two or more crimes and under the influence. Doesn't matter what the crimes were.
In my case it was 25 years ago in college. Drinking beer at a party then went ice blocking. Two years an 11 months later drinking beer at party and a bunch of us decided to tp a sorority house - crime number two. Both a long time ago and we're benign. For this I will lose my right to own a firearm if this passes! INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This thread deserves a bump. This is a bad bill and is being overlooked IMO.

If you were to carry ammo onto school grounds you would lose gun rights for 10 years.

This might be semantics. . . but. . .

That was so wordy it is ridiculous, but that ridiculousness is also hiding something very sinister. . .

So. . . carrying your loaded rifle that was acquired before the mandatory registration starts in 2014 = 10 year prohibitive misdemeanor under this bill.

This bill needs to be killed post haste.

I don't understand why this bill is not getting the same amount of attention as most of the others -seems pretty serious to me.

Their intent is to find a way to make everyone into a prohibited person.....eventually a parking ticket will make you a prohibited person.

Maybe it would be a good thing. At least that way we could get any firearm we want, just like our "friends" in the hood do, right. California - home of the instafelon laws and happy cows.

Not to single you out, but if this bill is signed into law every gun owner with past history like Komifornian will have to surrender their arms to the State.

Had a bad night and got charged with two separate misdemeanors? Game over. Say hi to Corporal Jim, California DOJ weapons confiscation unit.

Traffic violations, parking violations, and being late on your taxes will be next. Naturally LEOs as well as current and former elected officials will be exempt.

"if the firearm is not registered"

Um, not all firearms are required to be registered, so how does that work?

Let's not forget those that purchased handguns before 1/1/91 and did not voluntarily register them, and those who have completed their 80%'s but did not register them. They would also meet the criteria for the 10 year prize.

Isn't it interesting that she wants to ban the hazers when it is usually the hazed who use a firearm criminally such as at Columbine?

If this is a state bill, and one fits this criteria, is s/he subject to it if they no longer resided in the state?

What if my relative from KY fits this criteria and comes to visit? We go shooting on BLM, we get checked and s/he goes to jail - what then?

This proposed legislature =

Worked perfectly for me.

A version - might not be exactly the same as that .pdf, which is why I used the DOJ link - is here: http://wiki.calgunsfoundation.org/Fi...s_prohibitions

And speeding/parking tickets are NOT on the list.

"transferring a firearm without completing the transaction through a licensed firearms dealer"

So doing an intrafamilial transfer of a long gun will make both parties into prohibited persons?

It worked today. Maybe their website had a hiccup when I tried to open it.

i figured speeding/parking tickets were not there. Nor alcohol (except for impared by chronic alcoholism).

Point being, that there are some innaccurate statements being made. DUI is a misdemeanor, not on the list. Reckless driving, misdemeanor, not on the list. Unless of course either results in injury or destruction of property. Tickets, misdeamors, not on the list.

And not to diminish this bill proposal (hazing? really?), but if you read the list of qualifying misdemeanors, most of them are pretty reasonable.

Threatening *certain people*
Intimidating witnesses/victims
Attempting to take firearm from an officer
Assault/battery/sexual assault
Armed criminal action

and the list goes on. There are only a couple of questionable qualifying crimes in there, and the rest of them are nothing that no normal law abiding citizen has anything to worry about. MOST of the ones added in are for gang-related/drug related activities. Don't get me wrong, there are a couple things in there that need to be stricken out completely... but...

There is some statements in this thread that are blatently false, and just spread misinformation. If there is something I'm just missing... please feel free to tell me. I'm not the best at reading some of these bills tbh.

Lois Wolk....has been generally a decent democrat...she voted no on a couple of issues that were very democratically favored...such as the houndsmen bill that was put on the table to ban dogs for bear and cat hunters. I need to do a little more research on this bill. I don't like any bills that remove guns from law abiding citizens but I think strengthening punishments for continuous offenders is a good thing. Adding to the list I think is wrong. I would like to see stiffer penalties for people that can't follow the law and make gun owners continuously look bad.

Well the misdemeanor dui do matter if you have two or more in any 3 year period(or any alcohol/drug related offenses). That results in a lifetime ban from firearms. I dont understand how non violent misdemeanors that have already been committed years ago can all of a sudden result in losing your rights. Thats like watching someone drive thru an intersection, then put up a stop sign and give them a ticket for not stopping.

Are you referring to this portion?

Quote:
This bill would additionally make it a felony for any person to own or possess a firearm if the person has been convicted of 2 or more crimes within a 3-year period and was found to have been under the influence of drugs or alcohol during the commission of the crimes
I originally read that to intend that if you committed two of the crimes/misdemeanors listed within 3 years AND were under the influence...

However re-reading it makes it look like it might be any crime while under the influence, in which DUI would could. Interesting and unclear wording. If that's the case, you'd be right for DUI. Also could be public intox, disturbing the peace, and countless other silly reasons...

On a side note... if you get two DUIs in a 3 year period, you'll be selling all your guns to pay for the legal expenses anyway haha.

for everyone thinking their college drunken escapades are going to get their guns taken away you need to learn up a little on your Constitution.

The states are prohibited from passing ex post facto laws by clause 1 of Article I, Section 10.

Pretty sure it would be spanked down immediately if it didn't have exemption for previous offenses.

Anyways I can't wait to get home from Afghanistan and pack my family up and move back to Texas, I havent seen but 1 month of California in 2 years and I still hate the place haha. Shoulda done it when I got out of the Marines but didn't have time before deploying.

refer to the Lautenberg law on firearms possession. Ex post facto, and yet still in place.

Given what qualifies as misdemeanor assault/battery, I'm not sure that should be on the list. One of the most common examples I see is somebody blocking a door, and being pushed out of the way. The pusher gets a misdemeanor assault, while the pushee, having technically committed kidnapping, is almost never charged (especially if they're female).

The real problem with this is that if the DA is pushing to hang you, not because he thinks you're a danger and deserve it, but because he can hang a gun ban on you, he's a menace to society. The side effects of law matter.

Will the law be retroactive?

I currently have 2 misdemeanors that meet this criteria that occurred in a 3 year period. They both happened 6 years ago.

Are they going to raid my house for PR?

If someone could give me some input, it'd be well appreciated.
