Help support Pheng Yang

Donation protected

I’m trying to help out a good friend of mine,
(Pheng Yang) sort out his Lawyer Retainer fee’s tthat he’s currently going through trying to fight an unjustified case.

He is getting charged with:

32310(a) Manufacture, sale, or receipt of large-capacity magazine prohibited

For Possessing:

(1) 15 round Glock magazine


Pheng yang is a positive law-abiding citizen and a father of 2. He is also a responsible concealed carrier, avid hunter, and fisherman. He has no past criminal records, and has never ran into bad situations with the law. Tulare County has already made him turn in his conceal carry license, and has confiscated all his firearms. This gofundme is only intended to help him with the lawyer fees and court fee’s. The funds will NOT be spent on buying any firearms.


I’m hoping this case will also spread awareness throughout the gun enthusiast community in California. So they too can have an insight on what’s going with their 2nd amendment rights. Along with many others in California who has purchased a high-capacity (Standard) magazine during FREEDOM WEEK.

Linked below is a YouTube video made by “Reno May” explaining the story on Phengs situation.

“During the search, they found a 15-round gun magazine, considered a large capacity magazine in California, in the bedroom of Pheng Yang, the parolee's brother.



Deputy sheriff Matthew Williams spoke to Pheng Yang that day.

"He said he had purchased them during Freedom Week."

Since the year 2000 in California, it's been illegal to manufacture, import, sell, give, lend, buy, or receive magazines that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition.

But on March 29th of 2019, a U.S. District Court Judge ruled that the ban was unconstitutional and shouldn't be enforced.


That launched a buying spree across California with gun owners snatching up large-capacity magazines.

About a week later, the same judge decided that the large-capacity magazine ban should continue to be enforced as California's attorney general took the case to the U.S. Court of Appeals.


But the judge also said the law could not be enforced against those who bought a high capacity magazine during that one-week gap. And that one week, called Freedom Week, is now the argument in defense of Yang.

Prosecutors charged Yang with violating the magazine ban-a felony.

Defense attorney Eric Schweitzer also argues that Yang doesn't need to prove when he purchased the magazine.

"The people of the state of California have the burden of proof. If they're going to charge you with committing a crime, I think it's incumbent on them to prove that it happened some other time other than Freedom Week," said Schweitzer.

On Wednesday, Schweitzer requested the case against his client be dismissed.
Despite his argument that Yang bought the magazine legally during Freedom Week, a Tulare County judge ruled the case should move forward.


Yang will be back in court later this month and remains out of custody.”
