Firearms.
Summary
Existing law, subject to exceptions, subjects any person in this state who manufactures or causes to be manufactured, imports into the state for sale, keeps for sale, offers or exposes for sale, gives, or lends any unsafe handgun, as defined, to imprisonment in a county jail for not more than one year. Existing law, subject to exceptions, requires handguns imported into the state for sale, kept for sale, or offered or exposed for sale, to be tested, as specified, to determine if they are unsafe. This bill would exempt from those provisions, handguns for which production ceased prior to January 1, 2000, and for which production has not resumed, and handguns that are commemorative or custom-made, and for which production was or is limited to 1,000 or fewer firearms.
