Gun lock

[Ramtuff39]

If picking up a stripped lower by law do i need a gun lock for it before i leave?

[Ramtuff39]

From my ffl that is.

I have a lower in 10-day jail now. They said be prepared to give them the model of the gun safe it will be stored in when I come back for pickup, or they will require me to purchase a lock. They said bringing in my own lock was not an option. I can't confirm whether this is law or store policy though.

Safe affidavit should be OK, although some cities have more restrictive laws. For example, Livermore requires a lock be included with every long gun sale, including stripped lowers.

Either buy a lock (and return it afterwards) from Walmart, or fill out a safe affidavit

A lock must be purchased with every gun bought in Cali if not included from manufacturer. A safe affadavit only works toward a long gun. A cable lock can be purchased from a different retailer as long as it is within a thirty day window of pickup with the receipt.

I'm sorry, but that's redonculous. You have to buy a new lock for every gun, or furnish your safe's model #? Yeah no, you're not getting my address and my safe make and model number.

Comment regarding "SAFE AFFIDAVIT" is absolutely incorrect. And is common FUD pimped by unscrupulous FFLs in order to up their sales of cheap chinese locks.

If you already have an approved lock you can sell it to a friend for $1 and them buy it back from him (or her) for $1. You need a dated bill of sale for the transaction that is dated within the last 30 days.

Well, no it's not wrong, in the totality of circumstances.

The safe affidavit works for all guns, per California law.

Federal law, OTOH, requires a safety device for all handguns, and by law a safe qualifies, but our friendly BATFE will not accept the CA safe affidavit, nor have they created their own way to document a safe.

So, 'safe affidavit works only for long guns' is a fair summary of the net effect.

When I picked up my Glock they did require a cable lock which they actually just gave me for free.

When I picked up my AR I did not need a lock but did have to tell them what safe I had and filled out the safe affidavit.

I thought the cable lock was only for pistols. Regardless when I take my AR to the range I still keep locks on my case.

Sherpa1 made no mention of a "totality of circumstances" or Federal CSLA 2005. He specifically referenced "every gun bought in Cali".

And you earlier complained about the safe affidavit reference:

, thus my response.

I agree to agree with you as to "totality of circumstances".

While still vehemently lambasting the cherry picked legal FUD, spouted by bottom feeding LGS.
