Richard O'Connell Wow glad I bought this book….I am just getting back into shooting with my wife and the laws have changed quite a bit since I bought my first hand gun. This book should be required reading at the high school level (for California students) as the second amendment is very much a way of American life. If there was more firearms training and education in the school system the public would be better informed. souuth A must for California Gun Owners!!! This book contains all the essential information a California gun owner needs. It answers all the questions you could possibly have about California's numerous gun laws. An absolute MUST for anyone who owns a gun in California! Ora O. Gardner Jr. - Chief of Police (Ret.) I had purchased his first book, which amazed me of just what every gun owner in California is faced with. And when the second edition came out, I wanted to purchase it, to see what had changed. This is a must read for every California gun owner. It tells it like it is, and will help every reader learn something new about the laws that face every California resident, or visitor. If you own a gun, purchase and read Mr. Michel's book, you will be a better informed gun owner.
