The state of California has strict laws regarding who may possess, carry or use a firearm and what types of firearms are legal. California's laws relating to the use and regulation of firearms are complex. Firearms such as automatic weapons and assault weapons are totally banned in California for private citizens. Similarly, individuals who have been convicted of a felony, who are on certain types of probation or juveniles convicted of serious crimes, mental patients or those who are subject to a restraining order are not allowed to possess a firearm, which is otherwise legal.

The most common charges involving firearms or illegal possession of firearms include:
