Night Vision Scopes

January 2, 2020

Question: Are Californians allowed to own a night vision scope for non-hunting purposes? (Jackson)

Answer: Assuming you are referring to a scope used on a firearm, it is illegal to buy, sell, receive or be in possession of a sniperscope. A sniperscope is defined as any attachment or device designed for or adaptable to use on a firearm which, through the use of projected infrared light and an electronic telescope, allows the user to locate the presence of objects at night (California Penal Code, section 468). Possession of other types of night vision scopes (other than a sniperscope) is not prohibited.

In addition, it is unlawful to use or possess night vision equipment to assist in the taking of a bird, mammal, amphibian, reptile or fish (Fish and Game Code, section 2005).
