How to Own a Gun & Stay Out of Jail : California Edition 2002

The 2009 Edition is available for $14.95 and that includes shipping directly from Gun Law Press. Look them up on the internet. John is a great guy. Don't give these vendors a chance to cheat you with this $140+ for last years edition.

This book would not even be needed if California (also known as...Kalifornia, and PDRK...The Free Peoples Democratic Republic of Kalifornia.) did not have such a hard time with the phrase "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED." I just could never understand the concept of "gun control." Since law-abiding citizens police themselves, and criminals ignore the law, why bother? John Lotts book "More Guns, Less Crime", is a very good read. And it shows the disinginous argument of gun control. Which boils down to people control, not crime control.

I was referred to this book while discussing "Castle Doctrine" - quite simply, the ability to defend one's home without having to retreat first. California's gun laws are spelled out in a very easy to read manner, examples are given, and statute data is provided. You are warned that this is not a "final legal answer" book, but it describes many situations and "what if" scenarios. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has a CCW, is trying to get one, or anyone who keeps a firearm for self defense in their home or place of business.

I bought this book on the recommendation of instructor who was teaching a Basic Pistol Class at my local gun shop. This book gives you information on how to maintain your gun rights in California in a plain and effective manner.

The author uses common everyday English to explain the web of firearms laws in California. It is complete with examples and court cases that define the current legal condition in the state. This is a very easy book to read and is a must for every gun owner whether you're a firearms expert or considering buying a firearm for self-defense. I bought 10 of these books for friends and family last Christmas.
