LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

SB 1336, as introduced, Wright. Firearms.

Existing law establishes various requirements governing unsafe handguns, as defined. Among other things, existing law makes it a crime, punishable by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year, to manufacture, import into the state for sale, keep for sale, offer or expose for sale, give, or lend an unsafe handgun. Existing law also requires handguns imported into the state for sale, kept for sale, or offered or exposed for sale, to be tested, as specified, to determine if they are unsafe. Existing law specifies various exceptions from these requirements.

This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to those exceptions.
