Wonder what would happen with old cases that has been fired multiple times.
There would be a lot of imprints to trace Very Happy

Stop it Geland you're talking sense.
We cant have that influencing stupid legislation can we....

Wouldn't matter if the impression making piece in the chamber was raised or indented, it will cause problems with extraction.

Easy way to get around the problem of imprinted cases is to share your cases around with your mates...as many as you can so there would be multiple imprints...all different. Razz

And what about all the semi-autos out there that have not been imprinted in the chambers?

They'll make the law retrospective and force you at your own cost to get them engraved.
But that would require a 100℅ accurate registration list, 100% compliance from Joe gun owner AND the drug gangs and a shite tin of money to enforce.
None of which they have or gunna get.
How do all the stupid people get elected and then expect stupid ideas to work?

There seems to be some confusion on this issue !!!
I've been seeing/hearing that Ruger and S&W will no longer sell semi-autos in the state.
Here's a link to Gun Talk Podcast it's an interview with Mike Fifer, CEO of Ruger, he explains it's not that they won't sell...... they can't sell because of the new rules.

Yep! Ruger has decided it is too expensive to make their gun safe enough for import into Kalifornistan.
