What changes?

So I just looked it up. It’s actually July 2028 that the changes would take affect if the governor signed the bill. Since I can’t talk politics, I can’t speak on it.
Also, my firearm safety certificate expires in 2027.
Guns fall off of the California roster in 2027. Not sure who will pay the fees to keep their guns on there.

8 hour classroom instead of FSC. My shopping days will be over.
Saying what changes in gun laws are happening isn't politics. Each state has different laws.
For instance when I lived in IL we were required to have a FOID (Firearms Owner Identification) card which we had to pay a fee in order to purchase guns or ammunition.
Just stating the facts is not "political". Those are just the facts.
Now if I would go off on some kind of political ideological rant about it, then it would violate the rules.
No different than if I were to say cannabis is illegal in one state but not in another. That's not political unless I stray from stating the facts and make it political.
I was not aware of the gun laws in CA because I've never lived there. I do know they are some of the most-restrictive though.
I didn't know you had to have a "safety certificate" or that guns were going to be illegal in 2028.

Ok. Guns won’t be illegal, just harder to get.
California has a gun roster. We can only purchase hand guns that are on the roster. For a manufacturer to get a gun on the roster, the gun must have a loaded chamber indicator and a magazine disconnect. They must also pay a fee.
The guns will drop off the roster the first of each year unless the manufacturer pays to have them remain on the roster.
Older guns without those two features may still be on the roster.
Glocks have been banned, but if you already own one you may keep it. And FFLs can sell what’s in stock, from what an FFL told me earlier this month.
Currently one needs a firearm safety certificate to purchase. This involves taking a test. It’s good for 5 years.
California wants to change that to a permit to purchase. This would require buyers to complete a minimum of 4 hours classroom training, and range time with an instructor. All to be paid for by the buyer.
On top of the cost of guns and ammo and sales tax, there is an additional 11% tax.
Let’s see how this post fares.
Well I like your 92FS.
Here's mine I bought brand-new in 1997. It was an expensive gun back then around $900 but it is a "Special Edition". At the time the M9 was still the sidearm of the US Armed Forces & NATO. This was also during the high-capacity magazine ban from the Brady Bill which limited magazines to ten rounds. But there was a loophole in the law. So-called "Collector Guns" were exempt. This M9 Special Edition fell under that designation and came from the factory with a 15 round magazine and the option to purchase a 2nd one too (which I did). Everything is marked "Made In USA by Beretta USA".
The awesome kit also included the M12 Pistol Holster, M1015 Pistol Belt, M1025 Magazine Pouch, an official Armed Forces field manual, the 92 FS Beretta manual, a certificate of authenticity, and a special embroidered patch. 10,000 of these kits were produced by Beretta so they aren't super-rare but most aren't in as minty shape as this one is with all the accessories and original packaging. I've only fired it a few times so it's basically like brand-new.

Very cool kit!
I have the matching knife for it too. The M9 tanto...
One thing I regret was I could have purchased a nice wooden display case for the pistol too but didn't because it was pretty-expensive.

That M9 pairing is awesome
If you have smaller hands you are probably not going to like the 93FS or M9 as much as some other models. They have a fatter grip with the stacked 15 round magazine and trigger pull. That is one of the main complaints about them. Women in the military had a harder time gripping it.
Operationally though they are fantastic weapons. Very accurate and dependable.
In the early 2000s Beretta made a variation of the 92FS that addressed the fatter grip and trigger pull. It was the 92 Vertec. Note the straighter & more narrow grip. I always wanted to get one but never did. Really-nice gun.
