Existing law regulates the carrying of firearms and authorizes the issuance of a license, as specified, to persons enabling them to carry firearms that are concealed, or loaded, as specified.   This bill would deem persons who have a valid permit or license to carry a concealed handgun issued by another state or a political subdivision of another state to be authorized to carry a concealed handgun pursuant to provisions of California law, as specified.   The bill would direct the Department of Justice to enter into reciprocity agreements with other states so that persons licensed in this state to carry concealed or loaded firearms would be authorized to do so in those other states. The department would be required each month to maintain and publish a list of those states with which this state has established reciprocity.   Existing law generally regulates deadly weapons, including prohibiting advertising the sale of certain of those weapons, as specified.   This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to those provisions.  Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee:  no   yes  . State-mandated local program: no.
