The NRA and the California Rifle and Pistol Association (CRPA) are preparing a lawsuit against the state’s newly approved “assault weapon” regulations, as reported earlier. But given that (for now) the new measure is law, both organizations are also moving to educate California gun owners about what their obligations are.

To that end, NRA-ILA announced an upcoming joint NRA/CRPA webinar, addressing a wide range of questions such as how to register firearms, how to determine which firearms need to be registered and what information is required for registration. Interested gun owners can go here to register.

Since no major changes have occurred since the previous round of proposed regulations, those who attended the May webinar will find that this mostly covers the same material.
