In this episode we analyze California Assembly Bill (AB) 1078 (2025-2026), a significant piece of legislation aimed at modifying the state's firearm regulations. It clarifies that this bill is distinct from a similarly numbered 2023 bill concerning school materials. The analysis details the bill's current legislative status, indicating it has passed the Assembly and is now in the Senate Public Safety Committee, undergoing further amendments. Key proposed changes include enhanced licensing requirements, such as broader disqualifications and continuous reporting for licensees, as well as an adjustment to firearm purchase limits from one to three within 30 days, likely a strategic response to a federal court order. Additionally, the bill introduces specific provisions for non-California residents seeking licenses and proposes exemptions for securely transported firearms on public transit, reflecting a nuanced approach to balancing public safety with practical considerations for lawful firearm owners.
