Maybe someone on the California board can answer this question:
My son who is in the Navy in San Diego left his HK P2000 with me when he was transferred from his previous station in Bangor, WA. Now he has heard that if he buys a 10-round magazine the gun would be legal in CA, so he wants his sister to bring it down to him when she visits next month. She is not a gun person and is a bit uncomfortable about carrying a gun in her car, especially not knowing if it's legal. I have looked up this website, http://crime.about.com/od/gunlawsbystate/p/gunlaws_ca.htm
This explains about transporting an UNloaded firearm but it doesn't answer any questions about its capacity. She will NOT be carrying any magazines "large capacity" or otherwise, but the concern is about the GUN's capacity.
Also, my son has heard another report that the 16 (?) round magazine may be legal because he bought it in Washington State where it was legal at the time, and therefore he can claim he's "grandfathered" into possessing it. Any advice on this?
I've tried to find something in the California Code on firearms but it's so lengthy my head swims after about ten minutes of reading. Any qualified advice will be much appreciated.
