There are certain rules thou like you need to be at least 18y old to own and 21y old to carry(conceal only), also you need to pass background check and pass exam(test+safe manipulation+shooting) before police give y your gun licence( y use it for buying and for conceal carry), all guns have to be registered.

I’m in Cali, the Ruger MK4 was just added to the handgun roster. So I jumped and bought the pistol for @ $500, then added extra magazines, a mounting plate for a red dot optic and a Leupold Delta Point Pro. So I dumped another $700 on top of the initial cost of the firearm. Another added hidden cost is maintenance consumables, cleaning gear, patches, lubes and solvents.

I tried to steer customers away from firearms having very expensive --hard to get--magazines. Frequently the gun came with only one magazine. One customer bought a handgun which came with only one mag. I explained this to him and he discounted my advice. Three weeks later he was back--hoping we might have a spare. We did not. He had only been able to find single spare magazine--at $62 EACH--and with shipping it cost just under $80. He was almost crying as he realized he made a very bad choice and he was stuck with it!! The gun was inexpensive though!! LOL!
