LOS ANGELES (AP) — A California law that requires all semiautomatic handguns to be equipped with technology that stamps a code with the weapon’s make, model and serial number on bullet casings is now in effect after years of delays.

Though the law was signed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2007, it couldn’t be implemented because of patents on the technology.
