Road trip

On long road trips up and down the state, do you keep the weapon on you, or throw it in the center console, under the seat in a locked container? What is your preferred method?

California Penal Code section 25610 does not prevent a citizen of the United States over 18 years of age who is not lawfully prohibited from firearm possession, and who resides or is temporarily in California, from transporting by motor vehicle any pistol, revolver, or other firearm capable of being concealed upon the person provided the firearm is unloaded and stored in a locked container.

The term "locked container" means a secure container which is fully enclosed and locked by a padlock, key lock, combination lock, or similar locking device. This includes the trunk of a motor vehicle, but does not include the utility or glove compartment. For more information, refer to California Penal Code sections 16850.

Throwing it in the center console is not an option. Under the seat in a locked container will be my method until I get my CCW.

Since you posted under CCW, you probably have your CCW. As long as the wepon is under your immediate control. There is no reason to lock up your CCW weapon.

Once I have my ccw it will be in the console of my vehicle for a road trip. Short around town it will remain on my person.

Hmm, didn't consider that he might already have a CCW. I would still not want it readily visible, but easily accessible.

I do have my ccw. Sounds like you only need it on you(if not locked away) when you get to a rest stop and plan to be away from the vehicle. New to the ccw lifestyle.

I dont mean to be rude, but the whole point is to have it on you. I understand what you mean when driving, I do place mine in inbetween the seat right next to the seatbelt release, but I always holster it when I exit the vehicle (you get decent at this manuever with a little procatice).

Loved that quote. Not sure who the originator is.
