Hahn’s office has officially requested that L.A. County District Attorney Nathan Hochman launch an investigation into the Turner’s Outdoorsman store on Hawthorne Boulevard in Torrance – and the seven other Turner’s Outdoorsman locations across the county. The store in Torrance is where Cole Tomas Allen, the alleged White House Correspondents’ Dinner gunman, purchased the shotgun used in the April 25 attack in Washington, D.C.
“Turner’s Outdoorsman’s practices demand investigation,” Hahn wrote. “Every day, guns sold at Turner’s locations in L.A. County turn up at crime scenes. These guns are used to kill, to injure, to rob and to intimidate. They have inflicted immeasurable harm on Los Angeles County residents, and we should wield every tool we have to protect people.”
More specifically, she recommended ordinances that mirror those she recently had enacted in unincorporated communities, which include a ban on the sale of .50 caliber guns and ammunition, implementation of a buffer zone between gun dealers and sensitive areas, prohibition of minors from gun stores and instituting a requirement for gun stores to keep fingerprint logs, maintain weekly inventory reports and have security cameras.

Guns bought were over the counter and CALIFORNIA COMPLIANT. No AW, Paperwork filled out, background checked, waiting periods passed.
So what new scheme and dream will they come up with to ban common guns that meet California laws?
Turners’ Is a Hugh Chain in SoCal with Great Sales on Firearms ...
and super tite on Paperwork.
I miss them Not being in Arizona but now I have a Chance to Enjoy Them!
See Y’all at the Range !
***which include a ban on the sale of .50 caliber guns and ammunition***
Remember back to the Bill Clinton AW ban for ten years? They said that they ONLY wanted to ban AW rifles.
Once the ban was in, Democrat Charles Schumer and cohorts did not shut off the lights, lock the doors and go home. Instead they looked for a New Target and they settled on .50 Cal BOLT and Single Shot rifles “WHICH CAN TAKE DOWN AN AIRPLANE WITH ONE SHOT!”
How many aircraft have been shot with a privately owned .50 rifle?
One news man about had an orgasm when he walked into a gun store and saw shelves full of .50 muzzle loaders.
That’s when I bought me
A Hawkens 50 !
I’ve purchased (and still have) several guns from Turner’s when I lived in CA.
I think they are the largest retail seller of guns in CA. I’m not aware of anything illegal they’ve done.
Almost every criminal act with a gun in LA is committed by a recidivist black or Hispanic criminal the CA Dems put back on the streets as quickly as possible.
Another gift from the Dims is the new law where everyone in every gun store is under video surveillance. Though it’s fun to flip off the cameras all the time ;-)
How about B&B Sales, who gave rifles and ammo to cops to fight the bank robbers in the Battle of North Hollywood.
Gun stores are our friends.
Exactly!
Heard they’re handcuffing the local Ford dealer and his salespeople for selling cars to people who get high on drugs or drunk and kill people. /S
Not like the olden days of..”Cal Worthington and his dog SPOT!”
“Go see Cal, go see cal, go see Cal!”
