I bought my first M1 carbine in Ca but now I am in violation of the law if I have it there with a 20 round mag in it as I have no receipt.
That was 30 years ago.
Can’t find the receipt for the darn microwave I bought that year either!
AS I read the California Attorney General booklet it is NOT illegal to POSSESS a magazine greater than 10 rounds. It IS illegal to buy and sell them. Further, owning and possessing an M1 carbine IS NOT illegal.
What if it was inherited before 2000?
No receipt there.
Would a will or trust suffice and would the date be when things got transferred? “Personal goods”...
