When Gula's "strict scrutiny" case hits the Supreme Court this year (and hopefully wins) we're going to see a lot of these state's chickenshit laws go away as an unreasonable restriction on a personal freedom (his last win with the Supremes)
You wonder how a state as blessed with great country can go so damn wrong.

You're telling me THIS guy doesn't GET it?

Let the random Police "ID checks" (for ammunition bought across state lines) commence!
Wow, I think some folks from the Haight-Ashbury area have migrated east.
You want hippies? Try living in Oregon for four years, I'm from CA and the hippies there are NOTHING compared to Oregon hippies. Thankfully Oregon also has a healthy population of outdoorsmen to help level the playing field.
I LOVE trolling hippies, even more than I do AW.
Just really enjoy saying shit to rile them up and start them on an hour-long rant whilst I sit and smile.
As a native Oregonian, I can both resent this statement out of pride for my state (what remains of it, anyways) and vouch for its accuracy at the same time...pretty cool, huh?
I'll agree that California hippies are pretty insane, but they really don't hold a candle to Oregon (and really the south-of-Seattle, Washington crowd too) hippies. You take a bunch of outdoorsy folk, throw in some lax marijuana laws, ridiculously homelessness, a healthy dose of bleeding-heart liberalism and what do you get?
This guy.
In defense of my beloved home state, in my view, you have to take the good with the bad. There's something very unique in the northwest, particularly in Oregon, where you have a generally liberal sentiment west of the mountains and in the population centers contrast by a fairly conservative agricultural/ranching presence east of the mountains and in the significant rural areas in the west. Now, if you plunge yourself into downtown PDX or the U of O campus, sure, you're going to find the hardcore fringe - same holds true if you trompse through Klamath Falls or Ontario. I used to decry the ridiculousness of the fringe left when I was younger, but as I've lived outside Oregon for nearly 20 years, I'm able to see how those two groups kind of take the edge off each other. Oregon has this really unique and amazing friendly vibe with lots of "salt of the earth" people - interesting people from all walks of life. 20 years ago, I would never have considered a return to Oregon to retire. Now I eagerly look forward to it.

Actually, AB962 may never be enforced thanks to this part ^ since it is preempted by the Federal Aviation Administration Authorization Act of 1994. See here:

Can't wait for the lawsuits to roll in! :tongue2_1
But this is california, results don't matter only intentions. :icon_tong
From the NRA:
CALIFORNIA: NRA Sponsors Legislation to Repeal AB962!
Earlier this year, Assemblyman Curt Hagman introduced Assembly Bill 373 related to the sales of handguns. AB373 was supported by the National Rifle Association in order to streamline the ability for law-abiding Californians to purchase handguns. Now that Governor Schwarzenegger has signed AB962 into law, people are already becoming aware of the damage that it will do to California and its citizens. Therefore, the NRA worked with Assemblyman Hagman to amend AB373 into legislation that would repeal AB962. The newly-amended AB373 will be heard in the State Legislature in January of 2010, so we must be ready for these hearings. As a first step in this process please contact Assemblyman Curt Hagman and thank him for his leadership in this very important effort to repeal AB962. His office phone number is 916-319-2060 and you can email him at Assemblymember.Hagman@assembly.ca.gov.
