Pension fund to divest from firearms SACRAMENTO (AP) ��� California���s largest public pension system has approved divesting from companies that make guns and high-capacity ammunition magazines that are illegal in the state. State Treasurer Bill Lockyer made the motion Tuesday as a board member of the California Public Employees��� Retirement System. Lockyer had requested a review of CalPERS��� investments after it was revealed that the state teachers��� retirement fund invested in the owner of a company that manufactured one of the weapons used in the Connecticut school shooting.
