At this point I dont care if it does or not. What it does do is make it illegal for me to get my gun out of my house if this passes.

Mine too. As it is, I can barely get out of town without crossing a school zone. If the zone is expanded, I'll have to keep it locked up pretty much all the time.

If they remove the locked container exemption, I won't be able to transport my firearm at all... until the law is struck down by the courts.

Like I said, this legislation sounds REALLY bad, but it just makes it that much easier to get rid of the "zones" completely. Let's hope our legislators do us the favor of shooting themselves in the foot.

Maybe we can mount a protest near a gun range. . .

I recall several ranges here in the LA area that have a single road leading to the range where a school is present.

If the law passes we drive nearby and all carry rifles in soft cases on our backs walking to the range.

Say we couldn't carry firearms with locked containers through a school zone, and say you were transporting a firearm on a plane, and the plane flew through a school zone (but at 35,000 feet in the air), would you be the school zone? I think we can all agree that you would not

Wait what is there a new law that I am missing about locked containers?????

Um yep when they are extending the new school zone they removed the locked container clause so it would even be illegal with your gun in a locked container :(

(2) When a lawfully possessed pistol, revolver, or other firearm
capable of being concealed on the person is unloaded and is in a
locked container inside a motor vehicle or unloaded and inside a
locked trunk of a motor vehicle.
This section does not prohibit or limit the otherwise lawful
transportation of any other firearm, other than a pistol, revolver,
or other firearm capable of being concealed on the person, in
accordance with state law , including the otherwise lawful
possession or lawful transportation of a firearm, other than a
pistol, revolver, or other firearm capable of being concealed upon
the person, located within a vehicle while the vehicle is
on the driveway or the parking lot of a school .

They didn't remove it completely, but made it so the exception only applies while your locked container is in a motor vehicle.

If, for example, you live in a school zone and have to park on the street, there will be no legal way for you to transport that locked container from your private property to the vehicle.

And if you don't own a vehicle at all... I guess the legislature thinks you have no business owning a gun.

Here's an idea, lets print up hundreds of those signs that say "attn criminals: gun free zone, law abiding citizens have been disarmed for your convenience"and post them everywhere within the zones...literally plaster them everywhere. We could print up hundreds of regular paper signs at very little cost. Here's an example of one from jpfo.org that could be used, or we could slightly modify it. I don't think a "public education" campaignthat might cause the sheeple's eyes to bulge a little is out of order. We could modify this sign to include a UOC message as well. Signage ordinances might a problem though.

"Attention Criminals
This is a Gun Free Zone
All law abiding citizens have been disarmed
Courtesy of the CA Legislators, Namely: ... "

This should catch everybody's attention, including parents who are sitting on the fence, or parents who don't have a clue. Let's see how the legislators explain this. It would be ... priceless.
