C.A. 1st;
A149593

The First Appellate District affirmed in part and reversed in part a juvenile court order. The court held that a statute making it a crime for a minor to possess a firearm capable of being concealed does not preempt a statute making it a crime for any person to carry a concealed forearm.

A petition was filed alleged minor Charles G.'s commission of a felony violation of Penal Code §29610 for possession of a firearm by a minor; a felony violation of §25400(a)(2) for having a concealed firearm on his person; and a misdemeanor violation of §148(a)(1) for resisting, obstructing or delaying a peace officer in that officer's performance of his duties. The juvenile court sustained all three allegations, but granted Charles's motion to reduce the two firearm violations to misdemeanors. The court committed Charles to a youth rehabilitation facility.
