Deukmejian Pushes California Gun Sales and Waiting Period Bill
State Sen George Deukmejian introduces a bill banning mail order gun sales in California and lengthening the waiting period for concealable firearms from five to 10 days. The proposal would prohibit possession by ex felons drug users and the mentally ill and would empower peace officers to search for weapons. It also makes possessing a firearm in the state capital or government buildings a crime. Gun lobbyists are expected to oppose provisions on mail order sales and the extended waiting period.
