California Code of Regulations › Title 11 - Law › Division 5 - Firearms Regulations › Chapter 41 - Unique Serial Number Applications › Article 1 - General › Section 5508 - Firearms Not Subject to this Chapter

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
The following firearms are not subject to these
					 regulations:
(a) A firearm containing a
				  serial number assigned to it pursuant to Penal Code section
				  23910 or pursuant to
				  Chapter 44 (commencing with Section
				  921) of Part 1 of Title 18 of the
				  United States Code and the regulations issued pursuant thereto.
(b) A firearm that was manufactured or assembled
				  prior to December 16, 1968, as long as the firearm is not a handgun.
(c) A firearm that was entered into the
				  centralized registry with the Department prior to July 1, 2018, pursuant to Penal
				  Code section
				  11106. Such a
				  firearm contains a serial number or other mark of identification assigned by the
				  individual who manufactured or assembled the firearm and reported the serial number
				  or mark of identification to the Department so that it is on file with the
				  Department. This serial number or mark of identification is typically one that was
				  created by the individual who manufactured or assembled the firearm; therefore, it
				  is not a serial number or mark of identification that was issued by the
				  Department.
(d) A firearm containing a
				  serial number pursuant to Chapter 53 of Title 26 of the United States Code and
				  regulations issued pursuant thereto. Hence, if the individual's firearm already has
				  a serial number issued to it by a Federal Firearms Licensee, whether it is a
				  functional firearm or just a receiver or frame by itself, the individual does not
				  have to apply for a Department-issued unique serial number.
(e) A firearm that is a curio, relic, or an
				  antique firearm, as those terms are defined in Penal Code sections
				  23925, subdivision
				  (b)(3), and 32000, subdivision (b)(3).
(f) A firearm possessed by a nonresident traveling
				  with the firearm in accordance with the provisions of Section
				  926 A of Title 18 of the United States
				  Code, or used exclusively in an organized sport shooting event or
				  competition.
