What does PC 29800 specifically address?

PC 29800 specifically addresses the issue of a felon being in possession of a firearm. This law makes it illegal for individuals who have been convicted of felonies to own, possess, or control firearms. The intention behind this legislation is to enhance public safety by preventing individuals who have previously demonstrated a disregard for the law from having access to weapons that could potentially be used for further criminal activity.

Understanding this provision is crucial for law enforcement and those involved in firearms sales and possession, as it helps ensure that individuals with a history of serious offenses do not pose a risk to the community by having access to firearms.
