Hey guys, great website with a huge wealth of info that has really helped me navigate these crazy CA laws. I have read all the penal codes and am confident that I am compliant but I just have a couple questions and want to verify that I am correct in my methods. Let me lay it out for you and please tell me if am I wrong about anything here.
I plan to carry my handgun in my car at all times. I am not required to be going to, or from, any specific place. So basically, I can always have it in the car. I keep it unloaded and fully-enclosed in a soft pistol case. The zipper on the case is locked to a d-ring with a key lock. I know its probablya gray areato leave the key in the lock so lets not worry about that for now. The gun is unloaded but the magazine is full and is kept inside the same pistol case, right next to the gun. The mag isnot inserted into the mag well, its just loose and sitting by the gun.I can then put the case anywhere in my car: under the seat, on my lap, behind the seat, etc. Sound good?
Now....here is where I couldnt find any info yet. Am I alright to put the handgun in a backpack, or something similar, and walk around with it out in public? What if the wife wants to throw hers in her purse as she shops? The gun is technically concealed and I do not have a CCW, but it is still unloaded and locked securely in a fully-enclosed soft case with the full mag sitting next to it (not in the mag well). Samelaws apply here as if when transporting?
Thanks!!
