On Friday, October 13, the Governor of California has made minor adjustments to the firearms act, which operates in the state. Jerry brown signed a bill No. 7, which prohibits open carrying of assault weapons in the districts, not having the status of the municipal formation, which has now banned its use.
In his official message to the members of the state legislature, brown explained that his decision to close a narrow loophole in the law.
Recall that in 1989, California became America’s first state to ban assault weapons in the army. Taboos it imposed after the mass killings in school Stockton. January 17, 1989, a mentally ill native of Washington opened fire from a Kalashnikov in the middle of the Playground in elementary school. The incident killed 5 students of Asian origin.
At that time Governor of California was Republican courken George Deukmejian: opposes gun control. An incident at school caused a public outcry, which resulted in the Deukmejian: he was forced to sign the previously proposed bill Roberti-Roosenforcing a ban on the sale of army combat weapons.
In our days the right to buy a gun in California have a person 21 years of age, and smooth-bore weapons can be purchased with 18.
For both kinds requires the permission and registration, and concealed carry is only possible if you have a license and after passing the safety instructions. Open carrying is prohibited, however, sheriffs can issue appropriate licenses to counties with a population less than 200 thousand people, and the chiefs of police in cities located in such counties.
