Even those tiny GunVaults will store a full sized without issue.Comment

Haha fixed it. Thank's for confirming my suspicions. Appreciate the quick response too. I was looking at a stack on for 50 bucks which I thought to be a great deal as I thought I was gonna be on the hook for at least 150. Just wanted to make sure.WARNING: This post may contain material offensive to those who lack wit, humor, common sense and/or supporting factual or anecdotal evidence.

The requirement of such a box includes "Shall be able to fully contain firearms and provide for their secure storage;"

And yes, that sig is really too big; kindly find a smaller one.ARCHIVED Calguns Foundation Wiki here: http://web.archive.org/web/201908310...itle=Main_Page

I'm from Santa Monica. Just finishing up undergrad out here. I'll check that thread out, though. I resized it again to within the pixel limit. Is it ok now?The requirement of such a box includes "Shall be able to fully contain firearms and provide for their secure storage;"

So I have a question: If you keep the cable lock on the gun all the time, does it really matter if the safe is DOJ approved?My Guns:
SP 2022 9mm - 2575 rounds
Hi-Point Carbine 9mm | Bushnell TRS-25 Red Dot |Magpul BUIS 45 degree offset - 140 rounds

????? The cable lock is a semi-common sense thing that lets you take possession of the pistol when you leave the gun store, per Federal law. A California approved safe gets you around the requirement to buy a new cable lock when buying a long gun, not a hand gun.*REMOVE THIS PART BEFORE POSTING*Comment

No. There are no storage requirements for guns in CA, though there may be issues if a minor gains access to your gun and Something Bad happens.
However, that cable lock has no value whatsoever for transport. It's a requirement imposed on FFLs by both state and Federal law that the gun cannot leave the FFL's hands without a lock/safety device.

But I'm still required to show proof of purchase of a DOJ listed safe at the time of purchase of the handgun, right?WARNING: This post may contain material offensive to those who lack wit, humor, common sense and/or supporting factual or anecdotal evidence.

No.
Because the rat-fink BATFE refuses to accept CA's safe affidavit as proof of ownership of a 'safety device'. It now works only for long guns.
Typically, you will have to buy a new lock. See the wiki link in my previous post.ARCHIVED Calguns Foundation Wiki here: http://web.archive.org/web/201908310...itle=Main_Page
