KEY PROVISIONS OF THE “RESPONSIBLE GUN OWNERSHIP” ORDINANCE:
Provisions Restricting the Sale and Possession of Firearms
Prohibits deadly weapons dealers and other persons from selling or otherwise transferring firearms, except through inheritance.
Generally prohibits the possession of a handgun by any person, except in the person’s home. (Existing law states that the registration and possession of handguns not registered prior to 1982 generally are prohibited).
Provides exceptions for peace officers, corrections personnel, military personnel, certain security personnel and an exception for the lawful transportation of a handgun.
Generally prohibits a person from possessing a long gun, except when in the person’s home, or fixed place of business.
Provides for the same exceptions as above for the possession of handguns, with an additional exception for hunters where hunting is lawful.
The possession of assault weapons and other firearms that are unregisterable is prohibited. (See below.)
Each person who keeps or possesses a firearm in his home must keep no more than one firearm in his home that is assembled and operable. All other firearms possessed in the home must be broken down in a nonfunctioning state or shall have trigger lock or other mechanism making the firearm temporarily inoperable.
No person may keep or possess any firearm or ammunition in his home if the person knows or has reason to believe that a minor under 18 years old is likely to gain access to the firearm or ammunition, unless: (i) the person is physically present in the home and the firearm is either being held by the person or is physically secured on the person’s body; (ii) the firearm is secured by a trigger lock or similar mechanism; or (iii) the firearm and ammunition are placed in a securely locked box or container. However, no person may be punished under this provision if the minor uses the firearm for self-defense, or gains access to the firearm through unlawful entry.
The possession or transfer of any laser sight accessory, or a firearm silencer or muffler is prohibited.
The registered owner of a vehicle that contains a firearm registered to a person who is not the driver or occupant of the vehicle, an unregistered firearm, a firearm that is not being lawfully transported, an unregisterable firearm, a laser sight accessory, or a firearm silencer or muffler, shall be subject to an administrative penalty of $1,000 plus any towing and storage fees.
The possession of ammunition by any person is prohibited unless the person has a valid owner’s permit (CFP–see below) and registration certificate for a firearm of the same caliber as the ammunition possessed.
