Gun rights advocates say there are already more than 1 million in circulation in California – and only a tiny fraction of them have been illegally modified. As an example of how popular Glocks are, Harris, while she was running for president, told “\u003ca href=\"https://x.com/KamalaHarris/status/1843450339774574637?lang=en\">60 Minutes\u003c/a>” last year that she owned a Glock and that she had shot it. A Harris spokesperson didn’t respond to interview requests or to a question about whether she still owns the gun.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pending proposal would not prohibit Harris or others who already own Glocks from keeping theirs. They could also sell used ones to others in private-party transactions. Californians just couldn’t buy a new one. It’s unclear how many Glocks are sold in California each year since regulators and gun manufacturers don’t publicly report statewide sales numbers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police widely carry Glocks in California, but they would be exempt from the restrictions.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What about Gavin Newsom’s new gun?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The measure’s lead author, Assemblymember \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.digitaldemocracy.org/legislators/jesse-gabriel-160858\">Jesse Gabriel\u003c/a>, a Democrat representing the Encino area, told the Senate Judiciary Committee this month that if gun manufacturers don’t like the ban, they can redesign their weapons to make them less easy to convert to machine guns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Most handgun designs don’t have this issue, and this legislation is narrowly focused on a limited number of designs that are exceptionally easy to modify,” \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.digitaldemocracy.org/hearings/259600?t=741&f=c1e987ca3b48e651d52170abc5ee7c70\">he said\u003c/a>. “Sadly, certain actors in the gun industry have known about this issue for decades and have refused to do anything meaningful to address it.”[aside postID=news_12049635 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/CaliforniaAmmoAP.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gun rights advocates say Glock has already redesigned new models to be incompatible with the switches, but the California Department of Justice hasn’t included those weapons \u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/firearms/certified-handguns/search\">on its list of handguns\u003c/a> that can be purchased in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://stateline.org/2025/04/23/states-move-to-outlaw-popular-glock-switches-that-make-some-guns-fully-automatic/\">More than two dozen states\u003c/a>, including California, have already banned Glock switches, but California would be the first state to ban the gun. \u003ca href=\"https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2025/S399/amendment/A\">A similar bill introduced\u003c/a> in New York has stalled in the state’s Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California bill, which has 12 Democratic co-authors and co-sponsors, has already passed the Assembly with only Republicans voting against it. It’s poised to do the same in the Senate, putting it on a path next month to go to the desk of the state’s newest high-profile handgun owner, Newsom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This month, conservative podcaster Shawn Ryan gave Newsom a Sig Sauer P365-Xmacro handgun while the two recorded an hourslong podcast in Tennessee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The handgun wouldn’t fall under the provisions of AB 1127. The weapon’s mechanisms are designed differently than a Glock’s and switches made for Glocks don’t work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Sam Paredes, the executive director of Gun Owners of California, which opposes the bill, said it’s possible someone could design an illegal converter for Newsom’s gun some day. Plus, many semi-automatic handguns can be converted to fully automatic with the right tools and know-how, if someone wants to risk a felony charge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12050684\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1536px\">\u003ca href=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/020123-Bonta-Newsom-Portantino-Gun-Laws-MG-10-CM.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12050684\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/020123-Bonta-Newsom-Portantino-Gun-Laws-MG-10-CM.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/020123-Bonta-Newsom-Portantino-Gun-Laws-MG-10-CM.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/020123-Bonta-Newsom-Portantino-Gun-Laws-MG-10-CM-160x107.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gov.

The California Report Magazine’s Sasha Khokha talks to investigative journalist Chris Walker – who wrote and produced the podcast – about the scandal, and how it changed the course of winemaking across the country. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>As a relatively new United States citizen, getting a jury duty notice — that small piece of paper politely informing me that I need to be ready to show up at the courthouse in a few weeks’ time — still comes with a sense of mystery. And perhaps even a bit of drama: American movies can make it seem like a trial will be Tom Cruise \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2024/04/18/1245567231/what-makes-a-good-courtroom-drama\">dishing one bombshell revelation after the other\u003c/a>, after all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But I know not everyone feels the same way. Serving on a jury when called may be required by law of all U.S. citizens, but for many, it also means figuring out childcare, requesting time off from work when money is already tight, or pushing back a family trip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Whether we admit it or not, we all have gotten that note in the mail and the first thing that runs through your mind before you look at it is, ‘Oh God, I’m getting called \u003cem>again\u003c/em>,\u003cem>’\u003c/em>” said Bob Fleshman, court executive officer for the Napa County Superior Court. “But the bottom line is that jury service is a fundamental aspect of our justice system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jury service is also actually older than the United States itself. By the time of American Independence, most of the Thirteen Colonies had already \u003ca href=\"https://www.mass.gov/info-details/learn-about-the-history-of-the-jury-system\">developed their own versions of the English model\u003c/a> of deciding cases by a jury.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The framers of the Constitution included the right to a jury trial \u003ca href=\"https://www.mow.uscourts.gov/jury/history_of_jury_duty\">as a way to protect individuals\u003c/a> who could be unfairly accused and imprisoned by a biased or corrupt judge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we don’t have jurors in our jury system, our legal system would be severely compromised and probably just stop altogether,” said Judy Walker, jury operations manager for the Solano County Superior Court. “If we want this to work for us, then we need to work it for others.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11999875\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11999875\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Courthouse1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1335\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Courthouse1.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Courthouse1-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Courthouse1-1020x681.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Courthouse1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Courthouse1-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Courthouse1-1920x1282.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Phillip Burton Federal Building and United States Courthouse in San Francisco, on March 6, 2018. \u003ccite>(Lauren Hanussak/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Nonetheless, Walker acknowledged that the legal system can seem very complicated for first-time jurors. “There’s a lot of things that happen behind the scenes that not everyone is privy to,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keep reading for everything you need to know about getting your first jury duty summons (or even if it’s just been a while).\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Jump straight to: \u003ca href=\"#exemption-from-jury-duty-reschedule\">Who’s exempt from jury duty?\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch2>Why did I get this jury duty notice?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>How does your county’s court know where to find you?

Sometimes, however, this random selection can lead to unintentional mistakes: someone who is not yet a U.S. citizen could receive a summons, for example.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plus, “courts don’t know if you have a medical issue. Courts don’t know if you’re taking care of an ailing parent.

On your first day in court, you will go through an orientation. “Potential jurors can request a ‘hardship’ at that time,” Solano County’s Walker said. “They can put their issue on why they cannot serve as a juror on this particular case.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What other reasons could get a person excused from jury duty?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>While there’s \u003ca href=\"http://reddit.com/r/bayarea/comments/119gnd2/how_do_i_get_out_of_jury_duty_santa_clara_county/\">plenty of chatter online\u003c/a> on what can excuse you from jury duty — not all of it accurate or reliable — the \u003ca href=\"https://courts.ca.gov/cms/rules/index/two/rule2_1008\">California Rules of Court\u003c/a> are very specific on what situations \u003cem>actually \u003c/em>count as a hardship:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>There are no transportation options available that can get you from your house to the court\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>You have to travel for more than 90 minutes to get from your house to the court\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Being on a jury will cause you an “extreme financial burden” (when requesting this exemption, you will need to provide information on your source of income, and the court will then make a decisión based on the potential length of the trial and your ability to financially support yourself)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Property belonging to you could be harmed or destroyed while you serve as a juror\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>You have a physical or mental disability that could affect your well-being while serving as a juror\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>You are needed immediately to help protect public health and safety and there’s no one else available to replace you while you serve as a juror (remember, technically, state law only specifies police officers, sheriff’s deputies and California Highway Patrol agents \u003ca href=\"https://spsf.senate.ca.gov/sites/spsf.senate.ca.gov/files/ab_310_analysis.pdf\">as the professions exempt from jury duty\u003c/a>)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>You care for a child or loved one who is sick, elderly or infirm, and there’s no one else available to help care for that person while you serve as a juror.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Keep in mind that if you request an exemption, you will need to explain your hardship with a written statement — and you should be prepared to provide documentation or other evidence proving your situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And remember: asking for an exemption doesn’t necessarily guarantee that you will get one. But straight-up ignoring a summons — for whatever reason — could have \u003ca href=\"https://courts.ca.gov/courts/jury-service\">serious legal consequences\u003c/a>, including a fine of up to $1,500, jail time, or both.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>If I get a summons, does that definitely mean I’ll be serving on a jury trial?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Not necessarily. When you get a jury summons, the court doesn’t actually know yet which case you’ll sit in on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Solano County, for example, the court will start sending out summons six weeks prior to a court date, Walker said. “We have X amount of trials on that date, so we know we’re going to need X amount of potential jurors. That’s kind of how we determine how many summons go out each time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12038231\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12038231 size-full\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/250303-AntiochPolice-13-BL_qed.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/250303-AntiochPolice-13-BL_qed.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/250303-AntiochPolice-13-BL_qed-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/250303-AntiochPolice-13-BL_qed-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/250303-AntiochPolice-13-BL_qed-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/250303-AntiochPolice-13-BL_qed-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/250303-AntiochPolice-13-BL_qed-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The A.

For example, he said, “No one wants you to be on a jury if the case is about race discrimination and you already have preconceived biases coming in one way or another.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re uncomfortable being honest in an open court, Sanford recommends that you ask to approach the bench and speak to the judge privately about what you’re thinking. When having these conversations, remember that it’s also equally important not to \u003cem>misrepresent \u003c/em>any of your beliefs in an effort to avoid serving on a jury.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How long could my jury service take?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Let’s say that on the week of your summons, the court \u003cem>does\u003c/em> need you to be on a jury. How much time from your work (and your personal life) should you set aside for the case?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That depends on the type of case you’re assigned to, said Solano County’s Walker. In her experience, a case involving a DUI may take a few days. “If it’s a big felony case, because there’s more to introduce, those will take longer,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, it’s likely that you won’t know what type of case you’re assigned to until you’re sitting down inside the courthouse for your orientation. If you’re assigned to a complicated case — which could involve certain felonies like murder or other violent crimes — and you believe that you cannot fulfill the responsibilities of a juror for several weeks, \u003cem>this \u003c/em>is the moment when you need to let the court know about any potential hardships you’re experiencing.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Do I get time off from work for jury duty?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In California, employers \u003ca href=\"https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/howtofilelinkcodesections.htm\">are required by law\u003c/a> to give you time off to serve on a jury. However, state law also requires that you inform your boss with “reasonable notice” ahead of your summons — although it does not provide a clear definition of what “reasonable” means.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Legal experts KQED spoke to recommend you touch base with your boss as soon as you get the jury notice in the mail, to avoid any complications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12050451\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2219px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12050451 size-full\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/78724278.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2219\" height=\"1575\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/78724278.jpg 2219w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/78724278-2000x1420.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/78724278-160x114.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/78724278-1536x1090.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/78724278-2048x1454.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2219px) 100vw, 2219px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">In California, jurors are paid $15 per day starting on the second day of jury service. \u003ccite>(Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Your employer also cannot fire you or retaliate against you for taking time off to fulfill your responsibility as a juror.

Court staff will walk you through all restrictions for jurors during the trial, but in general terms, you cannot talk to anyone in the outside world — even family and friends — about the trial or the evidence you are seeing in court. This includes talking to journalists covering the case, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some courts may even restrict your social media use, as this could expose you to evidence outside the court record.

But helping facilitate free mental health services for fire survivors is no panacea for a therapist who’s endured trauma herself. She’d endlessly ruminate about the night of the fire, replaying terrifying memories and experiencing debilitating bouts of anxiety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think I’ve ever been such a crier. I feel like I cried a lot, all the time,” said Lopez. “And PTSD really [messed] with my appetite. It’s part of my politics to combat fatphobia, but I lost like 40 pounds.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A seasoned therapist, Lopez found the grief circle and one-on-one therapy extremely helpful in the weeks after the fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think one of the things that felt powerful for me was hearing a lot of people say, ‘I feel like I can just be sad here. I feel like I can just grieve here.’ Because the world has moved on,” she said. “It was nice to hear folks talking about how in the group, they could just be sad or angry or let themselves feel grief.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recently, however, Lopez has stepped away from the grief circle. It was hard to relate to other participants who were mostly white homeowners who could afford to rebuild. Less privileged survivors — people without the money to rebuild, or renters like Lopez, or who are Black, Latino or undocumented — just weren’t showing up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I know there’s a lot of people who are working two or three job jobs, there was no time off for PTSD,” explains Lopez. “These free resources are great, but if you can’t go on a Saturday, or whenever the event is being held, you are out of luck.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To help fill that gap, Los Angeles County recently expanded a range of free post-wildfire resources at \u003ca href=\"https://parks.lacounty.gov/loma-alta-park/\">Alta Loma Park in Altadena\u003c/a>, including on-site county mental health clinicians.

But helping facilitate free mental health services for fire survivors is no panacea for a therapist who’s endured trauma herself. She’d endlessly ruminate about the night of the fire, replaying terrifying memories and experiencing debilitating bouts of anxiety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think I’ve ever been such a crier. I feel like I cried a lot, all the time,” said Lopez. “And PTSD really [messed] with my appetite. It’s part of my politics to combat fatphobia, but I lost like 40 pounds.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A seasoned therapist, Lopez found the grief circle and one-on-one therapy extremely helpful in the weeks after the fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think one of the things that felt powerful for me was hearing a lot of people say, ‘I feel like I can just be sad here. I feel like I can just grieve here.’ Because the world has moved on,” she said. “It was nice to hear folks talking about how in the group, they could just be sad or angry or let themselves feel grief.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recently, however, Lopez has stepped away from the grief circle. It was hard to relate to other participants who were mostly white homeowners who could afford to rebuild. Less privileged survivors — people without the money to rebuild, or renters like Lopez, or who are Black, Latino or undocumented — just weren’t showing up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I know there’s a lot of people who are working two or three job jobs, there was no time off for PTSD,” explains Lopez. “These free resources are great, but if you can’t go on a Saturday, or whenever the event is being held, you are out of luck.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To help fill that gap, Los Angeles County recently expanded a range of free post-wildfire resources at \u003ca href=\"https://parks.lacounty.gov/loma-alta-park/\">Alta Loma Park in Altadena\u003c/a>, including on-site county mental health clinicians.
