I am in the military and i will be moving back home to California in a few months. I have a few weapons; S&W MP9, Escort 12Gauge Pump shotgun, Mosin Nagant, and an AR-15. I hear that the gun laws suck out there because the AR-15 is considered an "Assault" rifle eventhough its not full auto. is there any way around this? Can i still take my guns back home? Do I have to get a special permit? Dont really care to hear anyone's rant about how i shouldnt have a gun cuz its dangerous cuz i hear it all the time and im keepin it one way or another. Any useful info is very appreciated.
 
the way to get around this problem is to make an AR-15 with a non-removable (10 round) magazine. Having to opening up the rifle and reloading the magazine from the inside.

major brands of AR-15 lower receivers are specifically blacklisted. But there are many brands of lower receiver that are not on the blacklist.

the law:

12276.1. (a) Notwithstanding Section 12276, “assault weapon” shall also mean any of the following:
(1) A semiautomatic, centerfire rifle that has the capacity to accept a detachable magazine and any one of the following:
(A) A pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon.
(B) A thumb hole stock.
(C) A folding or telescoping stock.
(D) A grenade launcher or flare launcher.
(E) A flash suppressor.
(F) A forward pistol grip.
(2) A semiautomatic, centerfire rifle that has a
fixed magazine with the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds.
(3) A semiautomatic, centerfire rifle that has an overall length of less than 30 inches.

detachable magazine” means any ammunition feeding device that can be removed readily from the firearm with neither disassembly of the firearm action nor use of a tool being required. A bullet or ammunition cartridge is considered a tool.
