Firearms.

Existing law prohibits the manufacture, importation, sale, or transfer of an unsafe handgun, as defined. Existing law exempts from this prohibition sales to the San Diego Unified Port District Harbor Police and the Harbor Department of the City of Los Angeles, provided the handgun will be used as a service weapon by a sworn officer who has satisfactorily completed the POST basic course and will complete a live-fire qualification at least once every 6 months. This bill would require a police officer of the San Diego Unified Port District Harbor Police or a port warden or a port police officer of the Harbor Department of the City of Los Angeles to complete the live-fire training qualification at least twice a year instead of at least once every 6 months in order to be exempt from the prohibitions on unsafe handguns.
