Not trying to sound like an old fud recalling the glory days, but Cali was the place. Gun Stores everywhere, no 10 day waits. 1988 AK47, a case, 4 30rd mags, a cleaning kit, mag pouches, 300 rounds of ammo. $399 at B&B Gunsales North Hollywood. Those were the days. Sherwood International in Reseda, walls of M1 Garands, $499 bought you an M1, a bayonet, cleaning kit, GI stuff, Sling, and 10 clips. Wow........................never see those times again, A2
In CA, they had all of that, plus walls full of Colt AR15 SP-1s, Sporter IIs, Uzis, HK91s, HK93s, HK94s, SAR48s, Mini-14s wood/blued, Stainless folder Mini-14s, M-1 Carbines, Garands, and even some Mitchell AKs before the Chinese imports arrived. People had a lot more disposable income and Hollywood seemed to have a local effect on the market in CA when it came to customer expectations (Terminator and Commando scenes, A-Team, etc.).
After the San Ysidro McDonalds massacre (and it was a massacre, including infants), they tried to pass legislation banning these types of firearms (murderer/mentally ill guy used a pump 12 GA, Semi auto Uzi, and Browning Hi-Power with a bag full of ammo after telling his wife he was going people hunting). That never passed, but the sentiment had been elevated. Then Patrick Purdy shot some teachers and kids up in Stockton, and the anti-2A opportunists pounced with the CA AWB, which passed the legislature and was signed into law by the Governor in 1989.
That legislation was used somewhat as a model for the Clinton AWB 5 years later in 1994.
I remember B&B well in NH. When they had the bank robbery with the 2 armed and armored suspects in 1997, local police went to B&B looking for more firepower, and were handed several Bushmaster AR15s and 2 Benellis. ATF later cracked down on B&B for that with punitive measures.
Going up into Angeles National Forest for shooting used to be a great thing for shooters in the LA area, where you could blast away in various natural bays all day without much worry.
I you lived out in the desert, it was a shooting paradise, often abused though by litterbugs who would shoot up old Zenith cabinet TVs, fridges, washers, dryers, bottles, hot water heaters, etc.
Glad I live in Utah now. We have CFP cash and carry, very low crime rates, castle doctrine, concealed carry on school campuses, public parks, and long range heaven with tons of outdoor activities, low taxes, extremely low unemployment, and suppressors in the display cabinets at Sportsman's Warehouse, let alone every gun store (every indoor range place has machine-gun rentals as well).NRA Basic, Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun, RSO

In 1963 I was a young Lance Corporal rotating over to Okinawa via the staging at Camp Pendleton. One day in Oceanside, I passed a hardware store that had a really nice 1903A3 in the window. Went inside to look at it. Long story short, I bought it right there. The owner shipped it to my home address, threw in a bayonet and 100 rounds of AP ammo. Total cost $150.00. Those days are long gone...and the rifle still resides in the back of my gunsafe.

Dad got me my first gun that was really mine, a Win Mod 70 featherweight , in 1963. He cashed in prize points he got via a sales contest with Underwood typewriter co. Absolutely no paperwork on that one, it was shipped direct to our house. In the spring of 1968 I purchased my first gun on my own, a S&W K 38, at a K Mart, for a college graduation present for myself. I do not remember a federal form but had to enter id info in a rather ratty spiral bound notebook, which I doubt survived long in a readable form. I purchased a few shotguns at a NATO rod and gun club in Izmir, Turkey when I was stationed there. Paperwork was rather minimal, mainly to satisfy local Turkish requirements if I remember correctly.Member before 2010, account deleted per 2011 spam attack

Otherwise you go through instant check system. Your background was done when you got concealed carry card. You can open carry without card. Pretty open state.
