Firearms: notice to purchasers.
Summary
Existing law requires the Department of Justice to develop a pamphlet that summarizes California firearms laws, and to offer copies of the pamphlet to firearms dealers for sale to retail purchasers or transferees of firearms. This bill would require the Attorney General to send a notice to each individual who has applied to purchase a firearm informing him or her of laws relating to firearms, gun trafficking, and safe storage, as provided. The bill would require the notice to include a link to a page on the Department of Justice's Internet Web site containing a summary of state firearm laws, which the bill would require the department to prepare and annually update.
