With an intrafamiliar(?) hand gun transfer through cal doj you can have a registered handgun at 18 yrs old.

I believe it is immediate family up or down, i.e. Parent to Child, Grandparent to Child, Child to Parent, Child to Grandparent.

I don't think itcovers Sibling to Sibling however.

Thank you for the info. If I do this transfer will my parent be responsible for the gun still or would I assume full responsibility?



By the way. Whens the next SoCal meet?

In saying "the latter" I was mentioning that yes, you will assume full responsibility for the firearm. It is in your name at that point.

18 to own, 21 to purchase from a dealer.

Not through academy. When I am a sworn officer I will be issued 2 :) and can legally carry it loaded. I want to roll with you guys so I will keep them empty. Now, Where would you recomend buying inexpensive guns... JUST to last me until academy is over. 6 months.

Calguns.net. Check the for sale area.

Get a gun you will actually like though, there is no sense in buying a crappy gun for a few months. Besides, you just get issued a Beretta 92 or some crap like that.

You must weigh the pros and cons for yourself. Go to a range and rent out a few handguns to see what you like and make a decision from there.

My personal favorites are as follows (no order, except the Hi Power is NUMBER 1, BABY!):

Hi-Power
FNP-9/40
CZ-75
Glocks
S&W M&P
