I was reading another thread, and I got to pondering a hypothetical situation that could potentially be a nail in the coffin of 626.9 (maybe not the final nail, but one of them... how many nails does it take to seal a coffin anyhow?... i digress).
Let's say I decide to purchase a firearm. I own no vehicle. I own no locking case. The kicker: I live across the street from a school. Further, there is ONLY parking on the street, so even if I had a car, I'd have to take it out while on the public street in a GFSZ.
How do I get my gun home?
(In major cities this may actually be a fairly common scenario! No car, no off-street parking, schools everywhere... think about it!)
The simple answer: buy a locking container.
This raises two serious legal questions.
1. Is it legal for the state to require me to purchase a locking container in order to comply with a statute? How about post-incorporation?
2. Is it a violation of 12025 to walk from the gun store home (i.e. not "directly" to/from my vehicle that I don't have) while carrying in a locked case? If not, is it legal for the state to force me to buy/rent/borrow a motor vehicle in order to comply with 12025?
Food for thought.
