All handgun purchases in the State of California since 1991 have been registered in a computer database. LEO can run the serial number on your firearm and they will get the record of sale. If you violate 12025, and the firearm is not registered this way, there is a sentance enhancement - even if you bought the firearm legally before 1991. If the firearm is legally "registered" this way, the 12025 violation will be a misdemeanor.
Mudcamper,
Basically,Handgun"s bought before 1991 are not registered in a computerbase? Is this correct? Therefore how can you get an enhancement by buying the firearm through a private sale prior to 1989 -especially if you have a written receipt from the person that sold you the firearm and the owners originalpaperwork and sales slip? How would LEO know if its Registered or not because of the age of said firearm?By carrying a weapon bought like this really a violation of 12025? If so,Then does one have to go to a gunstore , with your original sales receipt and pay to get the firearm registered in your name some way?
If your open carrying loaded, on a dirt trail in an unincorporated area (Mountains), and your not near a lake or public road, or on a prohibited are, while enguaged in Fishing ,then none of this should apply? Does the phrase Public Place mean a backpacking trail 12 miles away from any known roadin which you might encounter several people?
12031. (a) (1) A person is guilty of carrying a loaded firearm when he or she carries a loaded firearm on his or her person or in a vehicle while in any public place or on any public street in an incorporated city or in any public place or on any public street in a prohibited area of unincorporated territory.

[align=left]374c Every person who shoots any firearm from or upon a public road or highway is guilty of a misdemeanor.[/align]
