P. v. Brown
Defendant was convicted of carrying a loaded and unregistered firearm, in violation of Penal Code section 12031, subdivision (a)(2)(F). On appeal, he contends that the conviction was improper because he was a Nevada resident who was not required to register the firearm.
The People agree with his contention, and both parties request this court to reduce the conviction to the alleged lesser included offense of carrying a loaded firearm in a public place, a misdemeanor violation of section 12031, subdivision (a)(2)(G).
Court disagree with the reasoning of the parties, but agree that the offense is a misdemeanor. Court order the judgment modified to clarify the nature of the offense.
