blog.cheaperthandirt.c...expiration
Stovey, you got out of the left-coast just in time. I didn't realize that CA has a certification process for handguns. Its all confusing to me. Seems that once a certification has expired (if the manufacturer even bothers to have it certified to begin with), the handgun can no longer be sold. I think it applies to individuals also. Even the color of the gun makes a difference!?!? Crazy!

DAM I guess I had better take mine out and see if there is any mold, and check the color.

I remember that...Seems that part of their "certification" was a drop test where they THREW a Colt .45 ACP up against a concrete wall to see if it would fire.
They started this program sometime before 2000.

Bureaucrats trying to one up each other in making new rules.
It is not how good the ruling is, but the how many rulings were passed in your administration that counts.

Several gun manufaturere do not sell in the USSR of C. Most firearms purchased are gotten outside of the state. Called "gun trafficking"

They do in the auto industry, industrial safety equipment etc.
Just about everything you can plug into a wall outlet you buy gets tested by groups like UL/CE/CSA/ANSI, plus they also test safety gear etc and a lot of things you wouldn't expect.
A car that may be legal for sale this year, depending on how they change accident testing and emission testing may not be legal for a manufacturer to sell the next year.
And the list goes on ... with regards to other things.

We almost do that here with government mandated safety inspections when used cars are sold.
Plus the emission testing we also do once a car is on the road.
