Re: moving to California

I am moving into California and I own several handguns. What are the new-resident registration requirements?
You are considered to be a personal handgun importer as defined by California law. You may bring all of your otherwise California-legal firearms with you, but you must report all of your handguns to the DOJ within 60 days as required utilizing the New Resident Handgun Ownership Report, pdf. You are not required to report rifles or shotguns. You may not bring ammunition feeding devices with a capacity greater than ten rounds, machineguns, or assault weapons into California.

(PC sections 12001, 12072(f)(2))

I escaped from California, I grew up there and sad to say I am a native. many of my friends are LEO's and they are told to take those laws very seriously.

I do live California and it is not illegal to own an unregistered handgun. Assault weapons, what ever that means, are illegal to own unless registered prior to 2001.

You need to refer to my previous reply for the PC code and EXACT language from the Kalifornia DOJ's Firearms website. Be very careful when giving someone advice if you are not positive.
