Very interesting discussion.
Now, if it is illegal in CA for me to transport a firearm in my car, and I am headed to AZ (where I have a carry permit), how do the savants who wrote this law figure I am to do it, if I drive my private vehicle?
I was unaware CA had passed this new law.
Seems that some people graduated from marijuana into more exotic chemicals.
Edit
Quote:
CA has since passed a law banning the carry of any unloaded firearm.

Al, are you speaking of open carry? Open carry of an unloaded handgun was banned last year (?) and, of unloaded long guns, this year. At least as of May in 2012, proper carriage of a handgun in a vehicle was unloaded in a locked case, preferably with ammo in a different location, but that was not necessary.
However, a loaded magazine could be a basis for a LEO to claim you had a loaded firearm in your possession, regardless of where the weapon was or its condition. Now, if you had a full speed-loader, that's okay.
The difference is that a magazine is an integral part of the firearm. A speedloader is an ACCESSORY.
I knew you would understand.
I would appreciate any corrections to the above.
