On January 1, 2026, California gun owners will have yet another set of hoops to jump through as Governor Newsom continues his relentless pursuit of law-abiding citizens.
The new law, ostensibly to impede (not stop) the manufacture of 3D-printed guns via a proof of age restriction and mandatory verification that the recipient of parts and pieces (more in a minute) will not “manufacture” without a manufacturing license, more than three firearms per year.
Under the new Section 30515 of the California Penal Code (effective January 1, 2026) all the parts
in both the top and bottom photos will be subject to age verification before purchase.
The requirements for a seller aren’t designed to streamline the checkout process. It will require
- notice on manufacturing if receiving firearms pasts of accessories
- acknowledgement by customer of receipt and understanding of notice
- verification of proof of age- must be over 18
- Signature with clear and conspicuous markings on package stating “Signature and proof of identification of person aged 18 years or older required for delivery”
- Requirement that purchaser provide carrier with identification and sign for the package
- Address for delivery must match address on identification received for age verification.
Those requirements wouldn’t apply to delivery to an FFL, wholesaler, certain law enforcement and military. The requirements also don’t apply to the carriers transporting the products.
