INGSOC comes to America.
Sip your Victory Gin folks, time's are a changin'
Time it was, and what a time it was, it was
A time of innocence, A time of confidences
Long ago, it must be, I have a photograph
Preserve your memories; They're all that's left you

Also illegal.Originally posted by crudI just want to know how careful I need to be with an AR. If I should make a hidden compartment underneath my vehicle to transport it, I will.

Possession of hidden compartments or "automotive safes," as they are known in commercial parlance, is not illegal in most states.
1 Hidden compartments are illegal in only a handful of states to include California, Illinois, and Michigan.
2 Penalties for possession of illegal traps vary from seizure of the vehicle in Illinois, to jail or prison time not to exceed 1 year in California. Conversely, trap fabricators in California, "shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for 16 months or from 2 to 3 years."Comment

It is NOT a gray area! Off-list ARs and AKs are legal if properly configured.
Bridgeport, thanks for the welcome. I HAVE done Extensive searching on this website, as well as others. From what I have gathered from this research is that if I am caught legally transporting my AR, I may need to hire an attourney to stay out of jail, and get my gun back (due to the LEO's lack of knowledge or interpretation of the law). At that point it will be up to the DA or judge to decide my fate, because this seems to be a grey area, and decided case by case.
I have read numerous times that my AR is legal, but I don't ever recall reading it on anything supported by the people who have the ability of taking it from me. I just want to know how careful I need to be with an AR. If I should make a hidden compartment underneath my vehicle to transport it, I will.
As far as the DOJ website... It seems VERY clear that any variation of an AR is considered an assault weapon. If the DOJ is not able to make/ change laws, then this is irrelevant I guess. Is it not written anywhere stating that these "off list" guns are o.k. to posses?Comment

Laws define crimes. Nothing more. There's nothing "written anywhere" that says it's ok for you to breathe. If it's not in the Penal Code listed as a crime, it's legal.

FYI, what you quoted only applies to false compartments used for storing controlled substances (illegal drugs). The CA law is Health And Safety Code Section 11366.8.
Republican state senator Bob Huff wrote a bill (AB 278) that would have extended that law to false compartments for firearms. The bill died in committee last November as the bill's history shows. So, you can still have a false compartment in your vehicle for use in transporting firearms (but not illegal drugs).Comment

I stand corrected. I thought it was a general prohibition. Reading the H&S Code shows that it is specific to illegal drugs.FYI, what you quoted only applies to false compartments used for storing controlled substances (illegal drugs). The CA law is Health And Safety Code Section 11366.8.
