However, California gun control laws are among the most restrictive in the country, with a 10-day waiting period and limits on who may own a firearm. For instance, rifles may not be shorter than 16 inches and prospective handgun buyers must have a valid Handgun Safety Certificate. Make sure you study the law in California before purchasing a firearm, as violation of the state's gun laws can lead to felony charges.
