California’s firearm regulations can feel like a labyrinth, especially for Antelope Valley, Santa Clarita, and San Fernando Valley folks balancing rural freedoms with urban rules. At Desert Defense, our veteran-owned team demystifies it all, helping you stay legal and lethal.

Key updates include the roster of approved handguns, assault weapon bans, and safe storage mandates—critical for Valley homes prone to earthquakes or break-ins. For sales, expect background checks via our FFL status; for training, RO certifications are non-negotiable. We guide on microstamping, magazine limits (10 rounds max), and open vs. concealed carry permits, which vary by county.

PRO TIP:  Annual renewals and ammo background checks keep things smooth. Our consultations prevent costly mistakes, drawing from real enforcement insights to keep you ahead.
