AB 1615: Firearms: unsafe handguns.
This bill aims to amend the penal code to make it a crime to manufacture, import, sell, or keep an unsafe handgun. It establishes certain exemptions for law enforcement agencies and peace officers. The bill would also change the training requirements for peace officers employed by county probation departments using an unsafe handgun. Specifically, these officers would be allowed to satisfy the training requirement by completing a firearm portion of a training course every 3 months instead of every 6 months. This change would require a state-mandated local program to implement. The bill does not require reimbursement from the state for certain costs.
