California gun registration?
When I move to California, do I have to re-register my guns with the state or will the Florida registration be okay?

Handguns must be registered with the state - long guns don't have any such requirement.
A good source (besides the attorney general's web page for Calif) is www.packing.org.
Whether you do or not is another issue.

California - State law only requires registration of assault weapons. No state requirement that other firearms be registered. Police do not known how many guns are in the state or where they are. The lack of registration makes it difficult for police to trace guns used in crime, identify illegal gun traffickers or hold gun owners accountable for the illegal use of their weapons. State law enforcement has kept records on handgun transfers (not rifles or shotguns) since 1990, but there is no way of knowing whether the buyers still have those handguns - there is no requirement for reporting of lost or stolen guns. The state does compare the existing handgun sale records with recent criminal convictions to identify gun owners who are no longer allowed to possess handguns.
