NEW VIDEO: A lot of people in California still believe that building a “ghost gun” is legal because there’s no serial number or paperwork. But under today’s laws, that belief can turn a box of parts into serious felony charges and a fast way to lose your gun rights.
In this video, California criminal defense attorney William Pernik breaks down how new laws treat 80% lowers and ghost guns, why “I didn’t know” or “I never finished it” doesn’t keep you safe, and how a single build can stack multiple charges against you. If you’ve ever thought about ordering parts, already have an unfinished build, or just want to stay on the right side of California law, this is a must-watch warning before you do anything else.
