Hello everyone,
I am moving to CA in a couple weeks and I thought now might be a good time to join the forum. I've been trying to read up on the laws but I admit I'm a little overwhelmed. I think I'll post some of my questions here...
I've already given up the idea of being able to carry daily as it seems that is all but impossible in the bay area. However I'm hoping I can at least keep some firearms in my apartment.
First, I wanted to keep my handgun (for which I have a Utah CWP, useless in CA) in the apartment for SD purposes. It seems that this is legal, however, in order to actually bring the handgun into my apartment, as I would be arriving by plane, I am not sure how to legally transport from the airport to my apartment as I won't have a motor vehicle yet. Is it legal to carry it in a locked container inside my luggage, or is it necessary to take it out of my luggage and then wear it openly, which would probably scare the pants off everyone on the train? If that id the case, I don't think I could bring myself to bring it under those conditions.
The second gun I wanted to keep in my apartment is an antique double barreled shotgun which was used by my grandfather, my father, and passed down to myself. It has been used in a museum exhibition about my grandfather. Thus I think it classifies as a C&R gun. Does this mean that I need some additional C&R license just to take my rightfully inherited gun into the state?
