NSSF: California Department of Justice Issues Clarification for Purchasing Firearms

2nd Amendment – R2KBA Authors S.H. Blannelberry This Week

On Nov. 20, 2018 the California Department of Justice (DOJ) clarified identification requirements for the purchase of firearms and ammunition in California. Moving forward it will be permissible for Californians to use all “FEDERAL LIMITS APPLY” drivers’ licenses or identification cards as a means of identification to purchase firearms or ammunition in the state.

Dealers are being advised by DOJ, “to consider requiring proof of a lawful presence from all purchasers who present a FEDERAL LIMITS APPLY driver’s license or identification card.”

DOJ listed the following documentation a dealer may wish to require:

  • Valid, unexpired U.S. passport or passport card
  • Certified copy of U.S. birth certificate
  • U.S. Certificate or Consular Report of Birth Abroad of a U.S. Citizen
  • Valid, unexpired foreign passport with valid U.S. immigrant visa and approved Record of Arrival/Departure (I-94) form
  • Certified copy of birth certificate from a U.S. Territory

Californians who wish to avoid problems in the future should consider applying for and acquiring a “REAL ID” through the DMV.

    these anti UNITED STATES, anti Constitution, anti Bill of Rights Kalifornia democrat/socialist/progressive perverts that keep passing bills to usurp a US citizens Rights must be met with Mad Maxine Waters style opposition. When ever you see them in public verbally assault them and try to inhibit their presence.

    So, liberals say you need a passport or birth certificate to buy a gun……… but they oppose any documentation to vote? How does that work?

      Liberal democrats are selling the UNITED STATES to ILLEGAL ALIENS. Now that they have retaken the house they will control the US monetary allotments. We will see huge increases in funding supporting ILLEGAL ALIENS of all types and nationalities and the increases of all taxes on US citizens to pay for this support of ILLEGAL ALIENS and anti US persons.
      Take, for example, Kalifornias jackass of a governor and his cabal who are going to increse taxes and use fees on Kaliforniaians to support purchasing fire fighting aircraft to the tune of 2 billion dollars each for . i believe , 10 planes while still sheltering his bogus “hi speed” railway funds of 200 billion for a rail system that will not be able to obtain promised speeds.

    This is where “states rights” so loved by the right, screws lawful citizens of many states.

    Maybe they should apply the same standards to voting?

    “In most cases, a California voter is not required to show identification to a polling place worker before casting a ballot.”

    Like a scene from WWII: Nazi soldier with a guard dog, “Show me your papers.”

    California needs to be reminded that we all live under the same constitution and the issue of guns and the right to own and carry them has already been addressed.

      Did the national concealed carry act pass?
