Trigger locks

[jbolton]

I was told yesterday that this trigger lock is not ca approved. Is this true? If so why is this not an acceptable trigger lock for a gun in your home.

True. See here: http://ag.ca.gov/firearms/fsdcertlist.php

It's not acceptable because the state hasn't approved it. Masterlock may not have submitted it for approval or they did and it wasn't approved.

Effective January 1, 2002, no firearm may be sold, transferred, or manufactured within California unless that firearm is accompanied by a DOJ-approved firearms safety device (California Penal Code section 12087, et seq).



Ok I didn't get the lock with the purchase of a gun. I bought the lock to secure a gun in my home.

I purchased the lock at a gun store in CA. Is the lock legal to use at my house?

Yes.

The gun store should not have been offering non-approved locks for sale however.
