Black Powder Pistol and Locked Container a must?
Hi All:
A buddy and I went to the local range last weekend. I lock all my handguns in hard cases with master locks and place them in the back of my SUV. He brought along a black powder pistol that was not in a locked container. He informed me of this AFTER we got to the range. He said he didn't think it was a problem. I made him lock it up for the ride home. So...that is my question. Black Powder pistols same as other handguns locked container wise? Thanks for any info. c good |

As long as it is not a BP cartridge handgun and it is not loaded, DOJ told me that they do not consider it a firearm. Although since many LEOs and civilians don't know this, it's not a bad idea to at least have it in a case.

Black powder pistols are the same as far as the concealment exemptions. If you choose to conceal them while you transport them, then yes it must be in an enclosed, locked case.
Be aware that none of your guns have to be concealed (and therefore locked up) to transport them, unless you knowingly travel within 1,000' of a K-12 school. The main difference with black powder guns is in the definition of 'loaded' in 12031: 12031(g): Quote:

It's been more than 50 years since the US Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional to require a test and a tax for people to exercise their right to vote. Why is my right to carry a gun any different? I don't want a permission slip from a bureaucrat; I don't want to pay a tax or take a test. "Shall issue" is NOT good enough. |

As I remember the result of my search, I concluded that such was NOT a CA loophole. ...thus, I presently think that the BP pistol has to be treated as a conventional gun... . |
