Do yourself a big favor. Buy a gun locker at the very least.

^Yeah, don't know the legal answer, but not worth the risk....if you can afford the guns you should at least be able to store them safely IMHO

I assume you are renting from the parents/owners?

If they have a backup key that the kids have any chance of finding, do what Marikina says.

Lock it up when you are not home.

The issue is whether an unauthorized minor can get access, and then do something criminal with it.
PC 25100 and following -

25100.

(a) Except as provided in Section 25105, a person commits the crime of “criminal storage of a firearm in the first degree” if all of the following conditions are satisfied:

(1) The person keeps any firearm within any premises that are under the person’s custody or control.

(2) The person knows or reasonably should know that a child is likely to gain access to the firearm without the permission of the child’s parent or legal guardian, or that a person prohibited from possessing a firearm or deadly weapon pursuant to state or federal law is likely to gain access to the firearm.

(3) The child obtains access to the firearm and thereby causes death or great bodily injury to the child or any other person, or the person prohibited from possessing a firearm or deadly weapon pursuant to state or federal law obtains access to the firearm and thereby causes death or great bodily injury to themselves or any other person.

Section 25100 does not apply whenever any of the following occurs:

(a) The child obtains the firearm as a result of an illegal entry to any premises by any person.

(b) The firearm is kept in a locked container or in a location that a reasonable person would believe to be secure.

(c) The firearm is carried on the person or within close enough proximity thereto that the individual can readily retrieve and use the firearm as if carried on the person.

(d) The firearm is locked with a locking device, as defined in Section 16860, which has rendered the firearm inoperable.

(e) The person is a peace officer or a member of the Armed Forces or the National Guard and the child obtains the firearm during, or incidental to, the performance of the person’s duties.

(f) The child obtains, or obtains and discharges, the firearm in a lawful act of self-defense or defense of another person.

(g) The person who keeps a firearm on premises that are under the person’s custody or control has no reasonable expectation, based on objective facts and circumstances, that a child is likely to be present on the premises.

Certain problems are easy to fix...or avoid.

Get a storage device...safe, locker box...something that is a barrier to access.

Can he just use a gun lock that renders it inoperable? Not saying this is the best solution but might keep him legal while getting a CA approved container.

Garage is much easier to break into than actual house. Get something sturdy and bolted down to concrete floor

A garage isn't living space. An illegal conversion doesn't give you any special privileges.

[edgerly779]

^^clueless here iN ca we can have garage areas converted to living quarters. Try posting on AZguns instead of here.

[n8vrmind]

In California, even sidewalk can be considered living quarters. Homeless people's tents adjacent to businesses and cops can't do a thing about it....

I just recently bought a gun cabinet on Walmart.com for under $200 with free shipping to my door.

Not the fanciest thing but DOJ approved a well built for the price. It's worth spending a couple $100 to not have to worry about not being in compliance with storage laws.
