PC17710 is the penal code that exempts NFA registered AOWs from the State SBS ban, unconventional pistol ban, and nuisance item confiscation law. Despite this CADOJ has seized an AOW as an SBS from an FFL and imposed a shadow freeze on AOW transfers without giving any reasoning. Meanwhile the ATF has been repeatedly denying them and not processing applications (people were on 60 day waits before the gov shutdown). ATF is citing PC33210 (CA SBS ban) despite that PC literally listing PC17710 as a valid exemption in the text. CADOJ is most likely delaying AOW transfers long enough to for the state legislature to remove the AOW exemption. The same tactic was employed against the Franklin armory title 1 “other” which legally bypassed the AWB that was only written for pistols, rifles, and shotguns. CADOJ in that case was able to unlawfully delay transfers long enough due to an issue with the DROS forms that allowed the legislature time to create AWB criteria for “others”.

TLDR: CADOJ has no legal justification to stop the flow of AOWs so they have resorted to shadowy intimidation likely to give enough time to the state legislature to remove the AOW exemption PC17710.
