Firearms

Definitions

Loaded

"Loaded" while committing a felony means both the firearm and the ammunition are in the immediate possession of the person. "Loaded" in general means ammunition attached to the firearm under PC16840(b), former PC12031. People v. Clark (1996) 45 Cal.App.4th 1147, construed former PC12031's definition of loaded to mean the ammunition is in a place from which it can be fired. At issue in Clark were shotgun shells in a buttstock holder. The shotgun shells would have to be moved by hand from the buttstock holder into the shotgun's magazine in ordered to be fired.

Loss of rights

Firearms-related misdemeanor convictions

Under Penal Code section 29800, the following misdemeanor convictions are a lifetime ban from possessing firearms:

Code	Crime	Notes
PC245(a)(2)	Assault with a firearm
PC246	Malicious discharge of firearm at inhabited dwelling, occupied building, occupied motor vehicle, occupied aircraft, inhabited housecar, or inhabited camper
PC417(a)(2)	Two or more convictions of brandishing a firearm
PC417(c)	Brandishing a firearm in the presence of a peace officer

Unlawful user of controlled substance under federal law

ATF issued an Open Letter to gun dealers saying that dealers could not legally sell firearms to users of medical marijuana. Even if medical marijuana may be legal under a state's law, it is still considered a Schedule I Controlled Substance under federal law and thus illegal to use. The Open Letter further ruled that a medical marijuana card would be sufficient to have reasonable cause to believe one is an unlawful user of a controlled substance. The 9th Circuit in Wilson v. Lynch, 835 F.3d 1083 (9th Cir. 2016), available at [1], held that the ATF's interpretation of the law under the Open Letter was constitutional under the Second Amendment and the Fifth Amendment.

Restoration of Rights

Reduction to misdemeanor under Penal Code section 17, subdivision (b)

If a person is prohibited from possessing firearms because of a felony conviction, then their rights may be restored if that felony is reduced to a misdemeanor. A felony reduced to a misdemeanor under PC17(b)(3) is a misdemeanor for all purposes. (Gebremicael v. California Com. on Teacher Credentialing (2004) 117 Cal.App.4th 1477, 1485.) A felony which has been reduced to a misdemeanor under PC17(b) cannot be a predicate felony for felon in possession under PC29800, former PC12021. (People v. Culbert (2013) 218 Cal.App.4th 184; People v. Gilbreth (2007) 156 Cal.App.4th 53, 57.) Likewise, a felony from a foreign jurisdiction, such as Oregon, that has been reduced under that state's law to a misdemeanor are considered misdemeanors for gun prohibition purposes. (People v. Lewis (2008) 164 Cal.App.4th 533.) However, if it's still a felony, even if that state provides a restoration of firearm rights, that foreign felony conviction still prevents possession of firearms in California. (People v. Shear (1999) 71 Cal.App.4th 278.)

Reduction to misdemeanor under Prop 47, Penal Code section 1170.18

A reduction of a felony to a misdemeanor under Prop 47 does not restore gun rights as Penal Code section 1170.18, subdivision (k) explicitly states that "that such resentencing shall not permit that person to own, possess, or have in his or her custody or control any firearm or prevent his or her conviction under Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 29800) of Division 9 of Title 4 of Part 6."

There are a couple of arguments that can be made. One is that PC1170.18(k) only refers to "resentencing." A "resentencing" refers to the procedure in PC1170.18(a) and (b)in which a person currently serving a sentence petitions to be resentenced for a misdemeanor. Person who have completed a sentence instead apply to have their convictions "designated" as a misdemeanor. PC1170.18(k) explicitly refers to both resentencing and designation, so the prohibition on guns should only apply to resentencing under PC1170.18(a) and (b) and not to designations under PC1170.18(f) and (g). Don't expect California Department of Justice to look upon this argument favorably.

Another argument that may be made is that PC1170.18(k)'s continued ban on misdemeanants violates Equal Protection. Under Prop 47, there are two similarly situated groups that are being treated differently. One group are people convicted of Prop 47-eligible offenses before November 5, 2014. That group are denied firearm rights. The other group are those people convicted of Prop 47 offenses after November 5, 2014. Their cases start off as misdemeanors and end as misdemeanors. They never trigger the prohibition for felons. So people convicted of crimes before Nov. 5, 2014 and people convicted of crimes after Nov. 5, 2014, are being treated differently. Since this is not about a suspect class, this would be subject to rational basis review.

Federal law

I personally consider it an open question whether a person whose felony has been reduced to a misdemeanor under PC17(b)(3) is considered a convicted felon or misdemeanant for purposes of federal law. Various 9th Circuit cases before the passage of the Firearms Owners Protection Act (FOPA) in 1986 held that even after a successful PC17(b), a reduced wobbler was still considered a felony. United States v. Tallmadge, 829 F.2d 767 (9th Cir. 1987); United States v. Pruner, 606 F.2d 871 (9th Cir. 1979); United States v. Houston, 574 F.2d 104 (9th Cir. 1976). FOPA changed the definition of conviction of a felony to be in accords with state law. It is unclear if FOPA changed only whether or not someone was convicted is defined by state law, or changed whether or not a person was convicted of a felony offenses is defined by state law. One Post-FOPA cases seem to indicate that federal courts will look towards the maximum penalty of the crime, regardless of what was actually imposed. Schrader v. Holder, 704 F.3d 980 (D.C. Cir. 2013). Schrader was about a common-law misdemeanor assault conviction, which has no maximum penalty, so it can conceivably be more than a year of punishment. Even though it was a misdemeanor, because the maximum punishment could be in excess of a year, it was still prohibiting.

C.D. Michel and Joseph Silvoso's Californian Gun Laws book, citing United States v. Marks, 379 F.3d 1114, 1117 (9th Cir. 2004) says: "Under federal law, a felony conviction for a 'wobbler' that is reduced to a misdemeanor will no longer be considered prohibiting . . . ." I don't believe that Marks stands for this proposition. Marks states: "Under the Firearm Owners' Protection Act of 1986 (FOPA), the determination of whether someone has in fact been convicted of a crime punishable by more than a year in prison is governed by the law of the jurisdiction in which the criminal proceeding took place (the "choice-of-law clause")." At issue in Marks is whether the defendant has been convicted of an offense, because his conviction might have been legally invalid due to ineffective assistance of counsel. So there is discussion in Marks over what a guilty verdict means, in other words, whether a conviction exists or not. There is no discussion in Marks over felonies versus misdemeanors.

The court, on forms prescribed by the Department of Justice, shall notify the department of persons subject to this subdivision. However, the prohibition in this paragraph may be reduced, eliminated, or conditioned as provided in paragraph (2) or (3).

(2) Any person employed as a peace officer described in Section 830.1, 830.2, 830.31, 830.32, 830.33, or 830.5 whose employment or livelihood is dependent on the ability to legally possess a firearm, who is subject to the prohibition imposed by this subdivision because of a conviction under Section 273.5, 273.6, or 646.9, may petition the court only once for relief from this prohibition. The petition shall be filed with the court in which the petitioner was sentenced. If possible, the matter shall be heard before the same judge who sentenced the petitioner. Upon filing the petition, the clerk of the court shall set the hearing date and shall notify the petitioner and the prosecuting attorney of the date of the hearing. Upon making each of the following findings, the court may reduce or eliminate the prohibition, impose conditions on reduction or elimination of the prohibition, or otherwise grant relief from the prohibition as the court deems appropriate:

(A) Finds by a preponderance of the evidence that the petitioner is likely to use a firearm in a safe and lawful manner.

(B) Finds that the petitioner is not within a prohibited class as specified in subdivision (a), (b), (d), (e), or (g) or Section 12021.1, and the court is not presented with any credible evidence that the petitioner is a person described in Section 8100 or 8103 of the Welfare and Institutions Code.

The court shall require, as a condition of granting relief from the prohibition under this section, that the petitioner agree to participate in counseling as deemed appropriate by the court. Relief from the prohibition shall not relieve any other person or entity from any liability that might otherwise be imposed. It is the intent of the Legislature that courts exercise broad discretion in fashioning appropriate relief under this paragraph in cases in which relief is warranted. However, nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to require courts to grant relief to any particular petitioner. It is the intent of the Legislature to permit persons who were convicted of an offense specified in Section 273.5, 273.6, or 646.9 to seek relief from the prohibition imposed by this subdivision.

(3) Any person who is subject to the prohibition imposed by this subdivision because of a conviction of an offense prior to that offense being added to paragraph (1) may petition the court only once for relief from this prohibition. The petition shall be filed with the court in which the petitioner was sentenced. If possible, the matter shall be heard before the same judge that sentenced the petitioner. Upon filing the petition, the clerk of the court shall set the hearing date and notify the petitioner and the prosecuting attorney of the date of the hearing. Upon making each of the following findings, the court may reduce or eliminate the prohibition, impose conditions on reduction or elimination of the prohibition, or otherwise grant relief from the prohibition as the court deems appropriate:

(B) Finds that the petitioner is not within a prohibited class as specified in subdivision (a), (b), (d), (e), or (g) or Section 12021.1, and the court is not presented with any credible evidence that the petitioner is a person described in Section 8100 or 8103 of the Welfare and Institutions Code.

(C)

(i) Finds that the petitioner does not have a previous conviction under this subdivision, no matter when the prior conviction occurred.

(ii) In making its decision, the court may consider the interest of justice, any relevant evidence, and the totality of the circumstances. It is the intent of the Legislature that courts exercise broad discretion in fashioning appropriate relief under this paragraph in cases in which relief is warranted. However, nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to require courts to grant relief to any particular petitioner.

(4) Law enforcement officials who enforce the prohibition specified in this subdivision against a person who has been granted relief pursuant to paragraph (2) or (3) shall be immune from any liability for false arrest arising from the enforcement of this subdivision unless the person has in his or her possession a certified copy of the court order that granted the person relief from the prohibition. This immunity from liability shall not relieve any person or entity from any other liability that might otherwise be imposed.

(d)

(1) Any person who, as an express condition of probation, is prohibited or restricted from owning, possessing, controlling, receiving, or purchasing a firearm and who owns, purchases, receives, or has in his or her possession or under his or her custody or control, any firearm but who is not subject to subdivision (a) or (c) is guilty of a public offense, which shall be punishable by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year or in the state prison, by a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars ($1,000), or by both that imprisonment and fine. The court, on forms provided by the Department of Justice, shall notify the department of persons subject to this subdivision. The notice shall include a copy of the order of probation and a copy of any minute order or abstract reflecting the order and conditions of probation.

(2) For any person who is subject to subdivision (a), (b), or (c), the court shall, at the time judgment is imposed, provide on a form supplied by the Department of Justice, a notice to the defendant prohibited by this section from owning, purchasing, receiving, possessing or having under his or her custody or control, any firearm. The notice shall inform the defendant of the prohibition regarding firearms and include a form to facilitate the transfer of firearms. Failure to provide the notice shall not be a defense to a violation of this section.

(e) Any person who (1) is alleged to have committed an offense listed in subdivision (b) of Section 707 of the Welfare and Institutions Code, an offense described in subdivision (b) of Section 1203.073, any offense enumerated in paragraph (1) of subdivision (c), or any offense described in subdivision (a) of Section 12025, subdivision (a) of Section 12031, or subdivision (a) of Section 12034, and (2) is subsequently adjudged a ward of the juvenile court within the meaning of Section 602 of the Welfare and Institutions Code because the person committed an offense listed in subdivision (b) of Section 707 of the Welfare and Institutions Code, an offense described in subdivision (b) of Section 1203.073, any offense enumerated in paragraph (1) of subdivision (c), or any offense described in subdivision (a) of Section 12025, subdivision (a) of Section 12031, or subdivision (a) of Section 12034, shall not own, or have in his or her possession or under his or her custody or control, any firearm until the age of 30 years.

Notwithstanding any other law, the forms required to be submitted to the department pursuant to this subdivision may be used to determine eligibility to acquire a firearm.

(f) Subdivision (a) shall not apply to a person who has been convicted of a felony under the laws of the United States unless either of the following criteria is satisfied:

(1) Conviction of a like offense under California law can only result in imposition of felony punishment.

(2) The defendant was sentenced to a federal correctional facility for more than 30 days, or received a fine of more than one thousand dollars ($1,000), or received both punishments.

(g)

(e) In order to determine whether or not a firearm is loaded for the purpose of enforcing this section, peace officers are authorized to examine any firearm carried by anyone on his or her person or in a vehicle while in any public place or on any public street in an incorporated city or prohibited area of an unincorporated territory. Refusal to allow a peace officer to inspect a firearm pursuant to this section constitutes probable cause for arrest for violation of this section.

(f) As used in this section, "prohibited area" means any place where it is unlawful to discharge a weapon.

(g) A firearm shall be deemed to be loaded for the purposes of this section when there is an unexpended cartridge or shell in, or attached in any manner to, the firearm, including, but not limited to, in the firing chamber, magazine, or clip thereof attached to the firearm.

(j)

(1) Nothing in this section is intended to preclude the carrying of any loaded firearm, under circumstances where it would otherwise

be lawful, by a person who reasonably believes that the person or property of himself or herself or of another is in immediate, grave danger and that the carrying of the weapon is necessary for the preservation of that person or property. As used in this subdivision, "immediate" means the brief interval before and after the local law enforcement agency, when reasonably possible, has been notified of the danger and before the arrival of its assistance.

(k) Nothing in this section is intended to preclude the carrying of a loaded firearm by any person while engaged in the act of making or attempting to make a lawful arrest.

(l) Nothing in this section shall prevent any person from having a loaded weapon, if it is otherwise lawful, at his or her place of residence, including any temporary residence or campsite.

(aa) the case was tried by a jury, or

(bb) the person knowingly and intelligently waived the right to have the case tried by a jury, by guilty plea or otherwise.

(ii) A person shall not be considered to have been convicted of such an offense for purposes of this chapter if the conviction has been expunged or set aside, or is an offense for which the person has been pardoned or has had civil rights restored (if the law of the applicable jurisdiction provides for the loss of civil rights under such an offense) unless the pardon, expungement, or restoration of civil rights expressly provides that the person may not ship, transport, possess, or receive firearms.
