Agricultural District 1-A: firearm sales at the Cow Palace.

Existing law generally regulates the transfer of firearms and divides the state into agricultural districts. District 1-A is the County of San Mateo and the City and County of San Francisco. A violation of statutes governing agricultural districts is a misdemeanor. This bill would prohibit events at which firearms and ammunition are sold at the Cow Palace, as specified, located in District 1-A, except as provided, and would thereby make a violation of that prohibition a misdemeanor. The bill would authorize up to 5 of those events per year for 3 years and would require the district to replace those events with nonfirearm and nonammunition events, as provided. By creating a new crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
