Needless to say, gun dealers are no longer be allowed to sell handguns not on the roster.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, that doesn&#8217;t mean private buyers and sellers can&#8217;t transfer uncertified firearms, as one gun shop manager noted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe restriction is not on the purchaser or owner, it\u2019s on the dealer. There is nothing that says you can\u2019t own a handgun not on the approved roster, it says a dealer can\u2019t sell it,\u201d Big Shot store manager Steven Rubert told <a href=\"https:\/\/fox5sandiego.com\/2014\/12\/30\/stricter-state-gun-laws-start-january-1st\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"california-gun-dealers-say-goodbye-single-shot-handguns\" title=\"California Gun Dealers Say Goodbye to Single-Shot Handguns\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox5<\/a> in reference to the impact of AB 1964.<\/p>\n<p>However, AB 1964 is the beginning of what will likely lead to a large scale cessation of firearms being manufactured, imported and sold in California as gun manufacturers have repeatedly expressed their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.guns.com\/2014\/01\/16\/breaking-ruger-ceo-sets-record-straight-california-microstamping-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"california-gun-dealers-say-goodbye-single-shot-handguns\" title=\"California Gun Dealers Say Goodbye to Single-Shot Handguns\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">disdain<\/a> for the certification process and the fees associated with it (That&#8217;s correct, manufacturers must pay to have their firearms appear on the roster).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What it basically means is that we have a shrinking number of guns we are allowed to sell in California,\u201d said Rubert. \u201cThere is nothing that makes these guns anymore dangerous to their users or in a defensive situation. It really comes down to will the manufacturers put down the money to have their firearms approved for sale in California.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With a new year comes the rollout of new laws, some favorably to gun rights, others &#8212; like California Assembly Bill 1964, which took effect on Jan. 1, 2015 &#8212; not so good for gun rights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":29714,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[244,7,216,240],"tags":[132,122],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-29710","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-2nd-amendment-r2kba","8":"category-gunsamerica-authors","9":"category-s-h-blannelberry","10":"category-this-week","11":"tag-buzz","12":"tag-r2kba"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>California Gun Dealers Say Goodbye to Single-Shot Handguns<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"California gun dealers will no longer be allowed to sell certain single-shot handguns following the rollout of a new law.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/california-gun-dealers-say-goodbye-single-shot-handguns\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"California Gun Dealers Say Goodbye to Single-Shot Handguns\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"With a new year comes the rollout of new laws, some favorably to gun rights, others -- like California Assembly Bill 1964, which took effect on Jan. 1, 2015 -- not so good for gun rights.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/california-gun-dealers-say-goodbye-single-shot-handguns\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2015-01-05T22:34:56+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-08-18T08:30:05+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/CA.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"S.H.
