exactly what i said only different...

S2KN05

Completely agree with these statements.

I completely agree with this. There's a bill that passed that is going to require long arms to be registered (like a handgun), and adds limitations to C&R' holders such as needing to go through an FFL starting 2014. There's another bill getting voted on now that needs to be shot down as well - SB249. Anyone who likes modifying tactical rifles should do what they can to fight it.

Rick - to answer your original question, carrying in a vehicle is restricted in CA. Handguns must be kept in a locked container, unloaded,(meaning no round in the chamber or full magazine in) with restrictions on where you're transporting it.

SB249 is really nasty. It does not look good for gun owners here in CA with that bill.

Nothing happened, just that after reading that other thread in my first post, I was somewhat shocked by what those other guys wrote (granted most of them are not in CA) but still it seemed extreme to me some of their statements. Plus I was thinking it would be illegal to keep a loaded handgun in the car which is the law in CA but apparently not in other states?

I used to own and carry in the midwest but found it overly intrusive in most cases. Now that I have kid(s) I would not keep guns around just for fear of accidents. You read about these kinds of stories all the time so in my case I won't take that risk.


I agree having overly restrictive laws is bad but this is sort of like the police officer situation. You don't want one following most of the time but in times of you need you wish you can have one nearby. I think guns are the same thing.

I go to the gun range pretty routine and some of those guys are pretty hardcore with enough weapons to start their own mini-army!


Yup this I know but I guess laws in other states are way more laxed! thanks

Semantics here, but more like California is way too strict.

Yep. Texas allows you to carry loaded with it either concealed or in plain sight. I had a friend from Texas who said it was pretty common.

yup. my girlfriend and her siblings go to the range as a extra curricular activity. her dad showed me their "shed" which doubles as a bunker. military issues and everything.

I get what you're saying. Out here in Nevada I can CCW with a simple permit. I've yet to buy a handgun because the responsibility of carrying one has slowed me down. While having one at home or the place of business makes complete sense to me. However being up on how and when to use the gun is not training I currently have.

So while I feel I would be a good shot and display good judgement the constant responsibility of a loaded gun on my person is big.

I wonder who drives the gun laws in California? Get outside of LA/Bay Area and there are a lot of pro gun folks.
