Is it legal for Active Duty members with PCS orders to California to bring "Assault Weapons" to California? It seems that each source that I read gives conflicting information.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edit: I want to post an update on this. In order to bring an assault weapon, California requires that you must have a signature from the base commander that you need to possess the assault weapon for performance of military duties. Thus, it seems like this is a no go.

My personal opinion, being both a Reservist in CA and a CA native, shhh. Keep that information to yourself and don't register your "assault weapons" in CA. Also stock up on 30 round mags before you move.

As for the military exemption, from what I know, there isn't one. But I hope I'm wrong.

Actually, you would be wrong on the 30 round magazine. It is illegal to import (bring into the state) any magazine with a capacity greater than 10 rounds.
There is no military exemption.

Read up on Prop 63 for the state of California. The only way you will be able to purchase ammo is if you have a copy of your PCS Orders stating that you are living there. You will also need a utility bill or other proof that you are a resident.

You cannot bring ammo into the state of California.
You cannot bring and "assault weapon" into the state of California. That is called importing. Before you bring an AR rifle into the state, you must modify it to meet the regulations. (No collapsing stock, no pistol grip extending below the trigger assembly, no forward pistol grip, no flash hider. But, here is the good news. If you meet all of those requirements, you can keep the magazine release button.

The alternative is to make it so that you have to break open the action to remove the magazine, OR you have to make the magazine non-removable.

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." ... no, you don't have the right, unless you meet the requirements of the regulations. Interstate trafficking of weapons, tobacco, and other "contraband", is still illegal in the U.S.A.
Those Regulations are defined by the Individual States of this Republic.
It's a Federal Right, controlled by the States. Think about that, as you Vote to re-elect the same people who shouted to the world during the Impeachment and Trial that "CHINA IS THE ENEMY! RUSSIA IS THE ENEMY! NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW!" As they who shout dictate Trade Deals with China, Russia, and every enemy in the History of this Nation, who are gifted the Blessings of OUR Liberty, while those same Servants LEAD an INVASION into our Nation, demanding full diplomatic immunity from the law (sanctuary) for those Invaders, as they rape rob and murder U.S. Citizens, while enjoying all the privileges and immunities of We The CITIZENS of the United States of America... when they can NEVER be U.S. because they are Criminal INVADERS.
DACA is Legislated HIGH Treason... according to the Constitution, and U.S. Law...
--> NO ... ONE ... IS ... ABOVE ... THE ... LAW???
The LAW: U.S. Code › Title 18 › Part I › Chapter 115 › § 2381 TREASON: "Whoever, OWING ALLEGIANCE TO THE UNITED STATES, levies war against them OR ADHERES TO THEIR ENEMIES, giving them AID AND COMFORT WITHIN THE UNITED STATES OR ELSEWHERE, IS GUILTY OF TREASON AND SHALL SUFFER DEATH, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States."
Aiding Invaders WITHIN the U.S. ... Trading our Prosperous Manufacturing Jobs to China, Our Enemy???
HIGH TREASON SOLDIERS.
HIGH %$#@#$% TREASON >(
Go ahead... keep accepting your oppression, as you defend Saudi Arabia, the REAL 9/11 attackers and funders of terrorist attacks on we the people... from their enemies,... AS YOU RE-ELECT THE TRAITOROUS $#@%$&@$ IN CONGRESS WHO OPPRESS U.S. INTO SLAVERY TO OUR ENEMIES... BY LAW ... while our military is slapping fleas in the Mid East protecting our enemies. >(
While demanding that the ONE person in the U.S. who is trying to stop all this %$#@ --> President Donald Trump <-- IS THE REAL CRIMINAL... FOR TRYING TO STOP THEIR TREASON...
while you in service to this Nation... SUPPORT THE TRAITORS, INSTEAD OF DOING WHAT THE UCMJ COMMANDS...
DRAG THEM OUT OF THEIR OFFICES AND IMPRISON THEM FOR THEIR TREASON, WHILE WE THE PEOPLE REPLACE THEM WITH U.S. CITIZENS...
--> INSTEAD OF ALLOWING ENEMY AGENTS SYMPATHETIC TO OUR ENEMIES TO TRADE U.S. TO OUR ENEMIES >(
--> WAKE UP... OUR MILITARY IS STANDING IDLY BY... AIDING A TAKEOVER OF OUR NATION BY OUR ENEMIES... whining because the CHANCELLOR of the FOURTH REICH (Nazi Pelosi) failed to hang Trump for DOING HIS JOB AS COMMANDED BY THE CONSTITUTION, U.S. LAW, AND INTERNATIONAL TREATY LAWS...
and you wonder why we the people are no longer free? why we no longer have our guaranteed Constitutional Rights?
--> because you voted for it >(
wahhhhh... go ahead and re-elect the traitors... and whine some more, as they round up your UNEMPLOYED BY LAW children, to aid the Chinese slaves, Hispanic Slaves, and Japanese slaves currently working in and for U.S. ... to serve the Furor of the Fourth Reich.... Adolfina Pelosi
13th Amendment? When we have illegal invaders, and the slaves of the world creating our products... BY LAW... WHILE COMPLETELY IGNORING ALL U.S. LABOR, WAGE, AND EMPLOYMENT LAWS OF THE U.S.?

You want to have your guns, while you vote for the people who take them away, so your enemies can oppress you, because you hate on command of the DICTATORS you vote for, who call themselves Democratic?
yeah... DICTATORS... raise your hand if you were given the right to vote for allowing invaders to overrun your Nation... with Sanctuary from U.S. Laws? No one?
okay... raise your hand if you were given the right to vote on any of the Trade Deals, that give our Nation to our Enemies, in return for poverty, and Campaign Funds? No one?
And you think we are a free and democratic independent Republic... as they dictate, control, and make U.S dependent on CHINA IS THE ENEMY???
--> MORON SLAVES... ALL OF YOU... BY YOUR OWN VOTE!!!!
You wear the Uniform, say the words, but have no clue what Patriotism, Freedom, Democracy, or Independence mean. SAD.
DUTY - HONOR - COUNTRY
"I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."
Stop voting for our enemies... VOTE FOR U.S.
IF you ever expect to get your freedom back.

You are not allowed to "import" any magazines greater than 10 rounds. If you bring in an "Assault Weapon", you must register it with the DOJ before you bring it in. Otherwise, it's a felony and you lose your right to own firearms anywhere.

Part of the reason I left California 18 months ago. It was my Marine Corps birthday present to myself.

Under California law, you cannot purchase ammunition without a back ground check. And if you are not a resident (register your car and get a CA license) you cannot purchase ammo at all except at the range. So figure double the normal selling price for ammo.

If you have a semi-automatic rifle with a detachable magazine you cannot have ANY of the following:
Flash Hider/Flash Suppressor
Pistol Grip (They consider the archangel stock to be a pistol grip so the M1A with archangel is considered an assault rifle in CA)
Forward Pistol grip
Collapsing stock.

If you want to keep your magazines, you had better find a friend who will hold on to them for you until you return to a free state.

If you are somebody who wants to help fight this tyranny, support the California Rifle & Pistol Association, the California Gun Foundation or the California Gun Owners Association. They have multiple lawsuits against the state for violations of the second amendment. One is being considered by the SCOTUS because CA law enforcement is able to confiscate your firearms without due cause and are not required to return them.
