just a thought. as Im not sure all the laws in CA, but often people moving from MA to NH will leave 'banned' guns behind enemy lines and in the hands of other people still in a restricted state. what I'm saying is maybe sell that wasr to someone in CA who otherwise couldn't get one at the store due to your laws, if that's a thing there like it is here in MA. you can get whatever you like in NH, so replacing it would not be an issue.
It's really not hard to get a WASR in this state. Sure, it's most likely an online sale vs in store, but all I had to do was order an extra grip that eliminated the "pistol grip" function.
The pro gun people have actually done a decent job here of making the AWB reasonably ineffective against the rifle market
I think that you would have mentioned this, but do any of the MA family members that you are staying with have a firearm license?
Negative.
Though I have successfully convinced one family member to take the LTC course and apply. She is yet to take the course though
Why can he just move to Ma. and bring them with him put them in a safe in his house and go get his LTC.
When you move here you don't have to register them.
Cause I refuse to live in another liberal state. The games are just plain draining. Though, MA would be a hell of a lot better than CA.
If anything, if I do end up storing my WASR within MA, I will make it conform to the provision of the AWB ban that exempts any weapon from being an assault weapon
"Any semiautomatic rifle that
cannot accept a detachable magazine that holds more than five rounds of ammunition;"
Though I don't know what they're definition of detachable is. Here in CA, a maglock, properly installed, renders a formerly detachable weapon into a fixed mag gun.
Irregardless, none of my babies are going to touch the soil in MA if I can help it, and the storage unit option makes it seem like a piece of cake
