I wan't to buy a semi-auto AR-15 type rifle, but because they have a removable magazine they're restricted in California. Now I'm asking if there is there any reason I can not go over to Arizona and buy it then take it back to California (in my car of course)? I know it's not the most honest thing to do, but would there really be any reasons preventing me from doing this?
I'm old enough to buy a gun, have no criminal background, and there's no permit required to purchase guns in Arizona.

yes you can legally buy it in arizona. however, like a person who is legal to buy own and carry a gun in texas they cant take it on lackland afb (where i was a MP longer than i would choose) so you could buy it and take it back to CA but if CHP or any other CA law enforcement agency caught you and it is illegal in CA you would be arrested.

No you can't. The only way a resident of California can legally own an AR-15 and get around the magazine restrictions etc. is to have bought it before the assault rifle ban. I know its a sad state of affairs when such things happen but my suggestion would be moving to AZ. I am strongly thinking of moving out of state for this very reason.

You can buy it in Arizona, but it has to stay there. Recently Vulcan Armament made a CA legal AR/M4 rifle, that is actually semi-auto. It has a ten round fixed magazine, it takes about 1 minute to load and is a bit of a pain but it is worth it.
