    this is what i was wanting to know...thanks

    thanks for all the replies guys...i do appreciate it

    i just read on calguns.net that AB249 has passed
    it is better to remain silent and be thought as being a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt...

    I reckon this would mean you have a more serious issue.

    Time to consider moving. (Granted, easier said than done, but still.)

    If this is true (I didn't check as I don't live in California) there are going to be A LOT of pissed off AR owners.

    Like someone else posted, move if you can. You won't regret it.

    It is SB 249, not AB 249. Today it got through public safety, but it WAS NOT signed into law.

    It still has to get through appropriations, senate, assembly, and the governor before it is passed.

    From around £1400 to almost £3000 I think not. ($2200 to $4700)
    The 22 is £870 ($1365)
    BTW, they want them to be transferred face to face, but for a nominal fee can export....
