With states like CA, NY and IL and their gun laws I thought I would ask.

The only sights that are controlled in CA would be night vision optics that mounts to a rifle and emits IR. Everything else as far as iron sights, red dots, and magnified optics are perfectly legal.

No experience with NY and IL.

Prepare to be dumbfounded by CA's infinite penal code designed to restrict it's subjects and create felons who would otherwise be law abiding citizens outside it's borders.

From CA penal code:


468. Any person who knowingly buys, sells, receives, disposes of, conceals, or has in his possession a sniperscope shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine not to exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000) or by imprisonment in the county jail for not more than one year, or by both such fine and imprisonment. As used in this section, sniperscope means any attachment, device or similar contrivance designed for or adaptable to use on a firearm which, through the use of a projected infrared light source and electronic telescope, enables the operator thereof to visually determine and locate the presence of objects during the nighttime. This section shall not prohibit the authorized use or possession of such sniperscope by a member of the armed forces of the United States or by police officers, peace officers, or law enforcement officers authorized by the properly constituted authorities for the enforcement of law or ordinances; nor shall this section prohibit the use or possession of such sniperscope when used solely for scientific research or educational purposes.

Night scopes that use passive (i.e, 'starlight') illumination are legal, however it is my understanding that a weapon mounted PVS-14 in combination with an IR aiming device such as a Surefire Raid M720V would also be illegal to even posses. However if used with a head gear mount and a weapon mounted IR device, it would be legal.
