Several new laws are taking effect in California in 2025. These include eliminating an exemption for private party transactions from the one-firearm-per-30-day purchase limit, requiring dealer records of sale to include purchaser acknowledgment of firearm possession within the last 30 days, assigning a specific category code to firearms merchants, and expanding prohibitions on firearm possession to individuals found mentally incompetent to stand trial in certain hearings. New rules also include strengthening limitations on handgun purchases, consumer warnings on firearm sales, and guidance for courts regarding restraining orders related to gun violence.
