A Gun Owner FAQ for Californians

I've written this FAQ because there are certain questions which I answer over and over at California gun shows, and I frequently end up either not having enough details to give folks, or having enough specific details that there's no way for them to remember them all. Therefore, I've composed this FAQ as a quick-reference URL which can be given on a business card or handout.
