CALIFORNIA ASSAULT WEAPON REGISTRATION
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following material was received from the California
|
|
Department of Justice (DOJ) and relates to how California owners
|
|
of "assault" weapons are to register them. Please note that
|
|
there is NO proof of purchase required. The law stipulates that
|
|
you should have purchased them before June 1, 1989 but there is
|
|
no need for a receipt. You must tell DOJ where you got the
|
|
weapon but it is unlikely that a check of that will ever be
|
|
made. DOJ has other things to do that are much more important.
|
|
|
|
If you wish to register the weapons, you need only to fill
|
|
out the approved card, get your thumbprint put on it from an
|
|
"approved" facility and send it with a check for $20.00 (total
|
|
per person; NOT $20.00 per gun) to the DOJ. If you do not have
|
|
the approved registration card, please send Combat Arms a large
|
|
(8" x 10") self addressed stamped envelope with $0.45 in stamps
|
|
on it and I'll mail it to you. If you cannot come up with the
|
|
envelope, mail $3.00 in cash and you will be mailed a complete
|
|
package that contains everything you need. The information in
|
|
this bulletin is also contained in the file ASS_REG.ZIP, which
|
|
you may wish to download and post to other bulletin board
|
|
systems within California. Let your conscience be your guide
|
|
about registering your weapons. Before you make your final
|
|
decision about registering your "assault" weapon(s), you may
|
|
wish to read the material in the also enclosed file called
|
|
CUBA.DOC. These are times of tough decisions but that's what
|
|
being a grown man (or woman) is all about. Pray for America
|
|
during these troubled hours.

ASSAULT WEAPON REGISTRATION INSTRUCTIONS
|
|
|
|
This letter provides information and instructions
|
|
needed for the registration of Assault Weapons as required
|
|
by California Penal Code Section 12285. The law requires
|
|
owners of assault weapons, as defined in Penal Code Section
|
|
12276, to register these weapons with the Department of
|
|
Justice prior to January 1, 1991.
|
|
|
|
An Assault Weapon Registration card (BJIS 8528) is
|
|
provided for your use. Please do not use any other form to
|
|
register your assault weapon(s). Forms other than the DOJ
|
|
Assault Weapon Registration card will not be accepted and
|
|
will be returned to you. Please follow the instructions
|
|
below to complete the Assault Weapon Registration card.
|
|
|
|
1. Complete both sides of the card, including the
|
|
applicant's right thumbprint imprinted thereon. The
|
|
thumbprint required on Side 1 of the registration card
|
|
may be obtained by going to your local police
|
|
department, sheriff's office and some Department of
|
|
Motor Vehicles offices. Call for times and
|
|
availability. In addition, there are numerous
|
|
commercial fingerprinting services; look for them under
|
|
"Fingerprinting" in your telephone yellow pages. There
|
|
may be a cost for fingerprinting services.
|
|
|
|
2. Side 2 of the card requests information regarding the
|
|
acquisition of your assault weapon. If you are unable
|
|
to provide this information, please complete the
|
|
remainder of the form and submit it to the Department.
|
|
YOU MAY NOT REGISTER YOUR ASSAULT WEAPON UNLESS YOU
|
|
LAWFULLY POSSESSED IT PRIOR TO JUNE 1, 1989.
|
|
|
|
3. The law does allow for joint registration of assault
|
|
weapons owned by family members residing in the same
|
|
household. If you wish to register an assault weapon as
|
|
a joint owner, each person must complete a card and pay
|
|
the registration fee. Please send in joint registration
|
|
cards together.
|
|
|
|
4. Please DO NOT bend or fold the registration card. You
|
|
may obtain the appropriate size envelope (8" x 10")
|
|
from any stationery or office supply business.
|
|
|
|
5. Mail the completed card along with the registration fee
|
|
of $20.00 PER PERSON to the Department of Justice, P.O.
|
|
Box 903417, Sacramento, CA 94203-4170. Payment must be
|
|
made by U.S. Money Order, Certified Check, Cashier's
|
|
Check or Personal Check and made payable to the
|
|
California Department of Justice. DO NOT SEND CASH.
|
|
|
|
In the event that your assault weapon does not have an
|
|
assigned serial number or other identifying numbers, you may
|
|
contact your local law enforcement agency and make
|
|
arrangements to have a serial number affixed to your weapon.
|
|
There may be a fee associated with this service. [NOTE FROM
|
|
SYSOP: If your weapon does not have a serial number, Combat
|
|
Arms will put a legal serial number of your choice, stamped
|
|
on your weapon for a $50.00 charge; we hold a Federal
|
|
Firearms Manufacturer's License.]
|
|
|

|
|
only under the following conditions:
|
|
