Okay, so I checked out a few stores here in CA and I see them selling Hi-point c9's/40's and 45's but I just got an auction from auctionarms and I got a 45JHP, but then he is saying their illegal in CA, is it true? Anyone want to shime in on this? I got it for a good price, maybe that is why?

I am pretty sure the hi point carbines are illegal in calif because they are a rifle that use a detachable magazine. I cant see why the pistols would be, but I am not from calif and cannot say for sure.

CalGuns.net has quite a lot of coverage of this. Handgun manufacturers have to pay a bribe and submit samples to be abused by the state in order to be cleared for sale.

Hi-Point Carbines are regulated under CA 'Scary Assault-Looking Weapons' legislation. There are people that modify them to conform with CA's insane laws and import them into the state rather reasonably priced. Read this thread:

BTW, a 'bullet-button' is a device to make the carbine a sort-of fixed mag weapon; necessary to comply with CA law.

California has a stupid gun test they perform on any new firearm that will be sold in the state, and the company must provide the guns to the state testing facility for it to be tested and approved for sale in the state. Have no idea what's on the approved list but you can search your state data base and see if the HiPoint .45 is listed.

Best suggestion is either move or vote the commies out of office and replace them with people who still believe in the US Constitution, then get your silly commie laws changed.

yeah, i know the carbines are illegal but the pistols are just like anyother pistols...humm, i will check out that site. Thanks.

Looks like they are illegal? but I'll check with a FFL to make sure it its not illegal. But if it is, then I guess I'll be going for a c9, but its odd because I've seen the hi-point 40 SW here in a sacramento dealer....

Everything in California is illegal except growing your own Marijuana and sexual intercourse between consenting persons of the same sex.

And don't forget the "illegals" who are legal

i could never live in california... all my guns and knives would be frowned upon not to mention trying to get something shipped to me. and how do they expect me to build a fast car with all those rules, here in nebraska if it has lights signals and it rolls then its legal

plus if i move to california all the things that may be perfectly fine elsewhere may start to give me cancer

heh, part of why I moved out of there. Funny story about illegals though, when i was back there they were having a rally next to my school, I wanted to go over there so badly and just start shouting "IMMIGRATION IS COMING" in Spanish :twisted: but they were gone before I had a chance to :cry:
