2. Written Test
Californians must take a written test and pass in order to acquire a firearm. Hey, if you need it for a license why not a firearm? Study hard so you can enjoy your gun stress-free.

3. Magazine Capacity Restriction
CA restricts anyone from making, distributing, selling, giving, lending, or receiving any large magazines to others. These large magazines can fit up to ten rounds of ammunition in firearms. 

4. Handguns In Vehicles
Finally, some good news. Licensed owners are allowed to store their handguns in their cars. Protection of yourself and your property is all a part of the first amendment, right?

5. Background Checks
