Here's my lower..

Also... what is considered to be a "detachable magazine"?
Press my mag release... it drops out.. insert new one. So this is really confusing.
I'm also pretty sure my 30 rnd mag would also be "off limits".
Not to mention the fact of going out in my back yard and shooting when I feel like it!!
Good news: You're damn lucky. That lower is NOT banned by name, and thus, is legal to possess in California. (The retards in office banned "AR-15" and "6920", but not "M4 Carbine" LOL!)
Bad news: Your wife still wants to move to California.

Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_law...#Bullet_buttonMethods of obtaining particular styles of firearms similar to assault weapons have been achieved by design changes by gun parts manufacturers to allow a person to obtain a style of rifle used in sport shooting and competitions. One of the most common modifications is a "bullet button", which modifies a rifle so that the magazine is not removable without the use of a tool (a bullet was defined as a tool per state law), which presses a button that a finger alone cannot press. Weapons with this feature no longer have a "detachable magazine" within the assault weapons definition, and therefore may be exempt depending on the other requirements. As certain portions of firearms (the lower receiver, or "lower" for short, which is legally considered to be the firearm) are banned by model name under California state law, multiple requirements are made to allow a rifle to comply under state law.
The only thing this damn bullet button does is make it inconvenient for legal law abiding citizens.
Case in point... while I lived in SD I had an opportunity to buy a full auto Uzi and "almost" did.
Once I actually looking at it and really thought about it... I decided not to buy it.
The price was not prohibitive and definitely less than what I paid for my "legal" M4.
Thanks to all for the quick replies... and Cali education!!
I have to admit... I do love San Diego... Cali in general (aside from the cock roach gang bangers) but I'm really not sure I want to go back.
But... these winters here in PA are beyond old and seem to be getting longer and colder.
Can anyone say... cake and eat it too??
