So I'm joining the USMC with an Infantry MOS and I want to stay West Coast. As far as I've been able to tell that means Camp Pendleton in California. The problem from that stems from the weapons I currently have and would like to purchase. First is my AR-15, it has a collasping stock. Second is my M700, I want to get a folding stock for it and third is that I'm really considering an AI AW with a folder. From everything I've been able to tell this is illegal in California. Is it illegal on a military installation?

Re: Military in California
The AIAW is completely legal because it is a bolt action rifle, the M700 is legal for the same reasons, the only thing that may not be is the AR. It must have an "Off List Lower" such as Stag, Noveske, Olympic Arms, etc. Also, it must be longer than 16.5" Overall length, or otherwise registered as a pistol. Also there must be something called a "bullet button" installed which basically prevents quick mag changes, but when you get good enough with it, it works well. Finally, say goodbye to your 30 round mags, unless they were purchased before 2000, only 10 rounders are legal, but 10/30's are readily available or made.
There are many individuals in Cali who have Mcree's, AICS's, name your pick on folders, its all fully legal as they are not portrayed as "Evil Rifles"
California gun laws are screwed, but there are loopholes that allow us to have AR-15's by the plenty in many configurations.

Re: Military in California
the bolt action with a folding stock will not be a problem at all unless you get bellow the minimum legal length (i think that is 31" but don't hold me to that).
the ar15 may be a no-go if it is a "named" assault weapon. if it is not specifically banned by name, you may be able to bring it into the state as long as you configure it in a way that keeps it from being classified as an assault weapon. most likely this would be as simple as installing a bullet button to replace the normal mag release. there is a map of what makes a california assault weapon floating around the internet somewhere but i can't find it now. bringing magazines with a capacity greater than 10 rounds into california is also a no-go.
as far as bringing them to a military installation, i can't answer that.

Re: Military in California
I believe he means the BARREL must be over 16.5" in length not the whole rifle. AR's are okay with collapsing stocks, AK's are not okay with folders.
Bolt guns fall under a whole different category as Apache stated above.

Re: Military in California
Active Duty military coming into CA can bring their ARs if they get a permit from CA DOJ - not a big deal.

Re: Military in California
Or you can strip your AR lower and leave it out of state. Bring the rest of your AR parts except magazines larger then 10 round capacity.
Buy a new stripped lower in Ca. from a dealer in Ca. Put one of these mag releases on http://www.riflegear.com/p-470-raddlock-ar-series-magazine-lock-wtwo-position-operation.aspx then assemble the rest of the lower then rifle and you are legal.

Re: Military in California
If you want your AR just buy a OLL with a bullet button and transfer all the parts with a 10rnd mag. One more thing if you are going to become an actual resident (I don't recommend it) then you will also need to fill out one of these.
Make sure you fill out the handgun form.

Re: Military in California
300Sniper, thanks for clearing that up.
As stated above, the easiest way it seems would be to either just write the DOJ or buy a new lower assembly here in California, which now (especially if you already have a lower parts kit), are going pretty cheap.

Re: Military in California
Even though you might want to go to Pendleton it might not happen. It depends who needs troops. I was east coast and went to Parris Island and my whole graduating SOI class went to Pendleton on the other side of the country. I wouldn't worry too much about it until you get your orders.

Re: Military in California
If you want to make a few bucks buy some off list pistols (like some of the Springfield trp's and pre lock s&w) and sell them to people in California if you become a resident. For new pistols to be sold in California they have to be on a pre approved list that gets renewed every 3 years. Handguns not on the list can be brought with you (minus hi caps) and once you become a resident can be sold for a profit.
Here in California off list pistols can command a premium compared to the rest of the nation because of the list. FYI, legal challenges are in place to deal with the list once the 2nd amendment is incorporated.
As stated above, check calguns.net for information and visit calgunsfoundation.org to help those on the front lines fighting for our second ammendment rights.

Re: Military in California
Hey Arcticfun you should get on calguns and ask this question. Also it sounds like you might be getting some bad info I live in California and own several AR type rifles with collapsing stocks and they are 100% legal and CA compliant. As long as it is not on the CA ban list and you configure it to be CA compliant with a 10 round magazine and bullet button your ok. There are no restrictions on having a folding stock on a rifle in california as long as the total length remains 30" or more when folded so an AI AW folder will be fine. As far as joining the Corps congradulations I was a grunt and its a great time, just get out of the line platoon first chance you get and you'll have a lot more fun. I only got out a couple years ago and still have some friends that are instructors at SOI so if you have any questions send me a PM. As far as all the anti California stuff I can understand as far as the politics of a majority of the state are concearned but bear in mind as long as your not within one of the major cities you wont deal with too many liberals. On a side note I was just in the desert earlier today scouting out some new shooting spots, when I get done with writing this I'm walking down to the beach to do a little surfing and I am still only about two hours from Big Bear if I wanted to go snowboarding, last time I checked CA is one of the few places all of this could be done.

Re: Military in California
You could easily get stationed in 29 Palms too. Regardless, you won't get any exceptions to the state laws aboard a military base for possession of personally owned firearms. If anything, the rules are generally tougher on certain matters. As a new Marine, unless you are married and living in base housing, the only place you can usually store your weapon is with the PMO. You could get someone you know at base housing to keep it for you as long as no order exists to preclude this. No personally owned firearms are permitted in any barracks for any reason in the USMC. Good luck.

Active duty military with PCS (permanent change of station) orders to California and who own personal weapons California defines as 'assault weapons' should contact the California Department of Justice regarding a Military Assault Weapon Permit (MAWP). CA-DOJ also suggests you contact your base/station/post legal staff for assistance.
CA-DOJ does not maintain application forms on line for the MAWP, and does not provide any documentation or guidance on line.
With a MAWP, the service member may bring those weapons on the permit into California.
Once obtained, the MAWP may be renewed annually. If the service member separates from Active Duty while in California, the MAWP is no longer effective, and the 'assault weapons' become illegal and must be removed from the state or otherwise handled according to law.
DOJ Contact Information:
General Information Phone: (916) 263-4887 Fax: (916) 263-0676
Assault Weapon Registration and Special Weapon Permits Phone: (916) 263-8100 Fax: (916) 263-0790
Bureau of Firearms P.O. Box 820200 Sacramento, CA 94203-0200 </div></div></div></div>
Re: Military in California
Seriously, do you even know WTF you are talking about?
It is not a "real" AW permit, it is a temporary AW permit that expires when you leave the service or at the end of the year so you can keep your weapons while you are temporarily stationed in CA.
It is standard practice to have this done, it takes about 2-3 weeks. Yes, I was a Marine and yes I have seen and known people who got temporary military AW permits, it is an exemption that is part of the law.
Now if you would please kindly stfu if you have no idea what you are talking about.

State of Residency
It is important to be aware that you must have a state of residence in which assault weapons are legal, in order to get one of these permits. If you are a Californian service member, then the MAWP does nothing for you because your home state prohibits assault weapons.
About Magazines
It is VERY important to note that although the MAWP allows you to bring in assault weapons, it does NOT allow you to bring in large capacity magazines (i.e. magazines with over 10 rounds capacity). You may disassemble and retain the parts of the large capacity magazines disassembled, but any assembled magazines you possess in California must be either magazines you've owned in CA prior to 2000, or have a maximum capacity of 10 rounds.
Who to Contact
You'll want to call (916) 263-8100, which is the "Assault Weapon Registration and Special Weapon Permits" line.
The point of contact USED to be Yolanda Garcia, but she's no longer there; Terry is now the proper POC.

Re: Military in California
I would keep my Alaskan residency because frankly I won't pay $400 to hunt a goddamn moose. I'll get in touch with the California DoJ when the time comes, which will most likely be in about a year to a year in a half. I leave for boot camp in September or October so things will undoubtly change by then. Thanks again for the help and for the references.

Re: Military in California
MCRD is only about 15 miles from me and Pendleton is about 25 so if you get into a pickle on anything just PM me. Sorry I got a little off track above not meant for you. Remember how many have gone through boot and never give up. You may not think it so much in boot but you will look back on it as a good time in your life.

Re: Military in California
First off, you are making a big mistake requesting west coast from 'Hollywood' MCRD. That will surely land you in Hawaii, Cherry Point, Legune, DC, or Okinawa....anywhere BUT So-Cal. I had a three month taste of El Toro, and Tustin back in the day before I left for secondary schooling in Coronado Island to become a Technician in my dual MOS.
I think the big trick is to request everything BUT west coast, then they will put you on the west coast. There is also Yuma, but if you really want to have FUN, go to Hawaii. Kaneohe is a sweet duty assignment, and for a single guy, man, Hawaii is the proverbial Cat's Ass!

Re: Military in California
I want to go to sniper school, west coast and from what I've seen that mean Pendleton. Beleive me I'd like to be anywhere but California just cause their laws are funny to a guy who grew up and still does take his guns to school, be it elementary, middle, high or college. I take my AR-15 everywhere with me, right next to my Kimber .45 ACP and my Marlin .22. I like the privledge of being able to stop on the side of the road lean out and shoot a grouse or rabbit and take it home for dinner without getting into a shit storm of trouble. Frankly I don't know many place that will allow that and if I could I'd get stationed back up in Alaska but there are no Marine bases up here and I'd rather be a Marine than Army, no offence army guys.

The childish insults are a nice touch, but its nice to see you finally did your research. You are now saying after the fact to call the AW permit line, when yesterday you posted:

Does that make a lot of sense to you?
Back to the original issue: the point is, if you already own an AR15 and you are active duty and get orders for Pendleton, you would have no problem getting a Military AW permit which would allow you to keep your gun as-is.
The other thing is that you were flat out wrong, you are mad that I pointed out that you were clueless, and you have now decided to resort to slinging insults to try to take the attention off of your own incompetence. If I were you, I would edit your earlier post now so you don't look stupid.

Re: Military in California
Agree with you on that unless something has changed since my discharge in the 80's
During my reserve time I went to Kaneohe for 2 weeks after my active duty ended and it was a blast! A bunch of us went in on a car there for $500 and chopped the top off (sawzall convertible) on the last day there we sold it for $700. Tustin and El Toro that must put you in the 80's enlistment also.

Back to the original issue: the point is, if you already own an AR15 and you are active duty and get orders for Pendleton, you would have no problem getting a Military AW permit which would allow you to keep your gun as-is.
The other thing is that you were flat out wrong, you are mad that I pointed out that you were clueless, and you have now decided to resort to slinging insults to try to take the attention off of your own incompetence. If I were you, I would edit your earlier post now so you don't look stupid.
Have a nice day. </div></div>
I didn't know you could do this, I always thought they would follow state law, good to know.

First is my AR-15, it has a collasping stock. Second is my M700, I want to get a folding stock for it and third is that I'm really considering an AI AW with a folder.

From GunWiki
State of Residency
It is important to be aware that you must have a state of residence in which assault weapons are legal, in order to get one of these permits. If you are a Californian service member, then the MAWP does nothing for you because your home state prohibits assault weapons.
About Magazines
It is VERY important to note that although the MAWP allows you to bring in assault weapons, it does NOT allow you to bring in large capacity magazines (i.e. magazines with over 10 rounds capacity). You may disassemble and retain the parts of the large capacity magazines disassembled, but any assembled magazines you possess in California must be either magazines you've owned in CA prior to 2000, or have a maximum capacity of 10 rounds.
Who to Contact
You'll want to call (916) 263-8100, which is the "Assault Weapon Registration and Special Weapon Permits" line.
The point of contact USED to be Yolanda Garcia, but she's no longer there; Terry is now the proper POC.
Oh and fuck you again </div></div>
He is from Alaska, Alaska allows their residents to own "assault weapons" therefore he should have no problem getting a MAWP because (since your reading comprehension fails) he <span style="font-weight: bold">ALREADY HAS</span> an AR15.
The childish insults are a nice touch, but its nice to see you finally did your research. You are now saying after the fact to call the AW permit line, when yesterday you posted:
