What do you guys use to carry your guns to and from the range?
I don't have any "Fully enclosed" "Locked containers" and I always used to carry my guns in either rifle bags or the plastic boxes the hand guns came with, which are not lockable.
Better yet if you can post some pics or links I would appreciate it. I want to be a 100% in compliance....

CONCEALED handgun transport
In a vehicle
Penal Code 25400 (old 12025) creates the crime of carrying a concealed firearm. Penal Code 25610 (old 12026.1) and 25505 (old 12026.2) provide an exception for transporting a concealed weapon, if the correct procedure is followed
25610. A citizen of the United States over the age of 18 years
who resides or is temporarily within this state, and who is
not prohibited by state or federal law from possessing,
receiving, owning, or purchasing a firearm, from transporting
or carrying any pistol, revolver, or other firearm capable of
being concealed upon the person, provided that the following
applies to the firearm:
(1) The firearm is within a motor vehicle and it is locked
in the vehicle's trunk or in a locked container in the vehicle.
(2) The firearm is carried by the person directly to or from
any motor vehicle for any lawful purpose and, while carrying
the firearm, the firearm is contained within a locked
container.
(b) The provisions of this section do not prohibit or limit
the otherwise lawful carrying or transportation of any pistol,
revolver, or other firearm capable of being concealed upon the
person in accordance with the provisions listed in Section
16580.
NOT in a vehicle
25505 In order for a firearm to be exempted under this article,
while being transported to or from a place, the firearm shall
be unloaded and kept in a locked container, and the course of
travel shall include only those deviations between authorized
locations as are reasonably necessary under the circumstances.
The 'locked container' requirement still applies, but other than to and from a vehicle, as above, the Penal Code has destination requirements beginning with Section 25510 and finishing at Section 25595, the 'other' section:
25595 This article does not prohibit or limit the otherwise lawful
carrying or transportation of any handgun in accordance with the
provisions listed in Section 16580.
Locked container
"Locked container" is now defined at Penal Code 16850
As used in Sections 17740, 23925, 25105, 25205, and 25610,
and in Article 3 (commencing with Section 25505) of Chapter 2
of Division 5 of Title 4, "locked container" means
a secure container
that is fully enclosed and
locked by a padlock, keylock, combination lock, or similar
locking device.
The term "locked container" does not include the utility or
glove compartment of a motor vehicle.
The code specifies either a separate locked container or the trunk of a motor vehicle while transporting a handgun in a vehicle.
The separate locked container may be located any place in the vehicle; it is not restricted to the trunk.
Vehicles without trunks
Since the trunk is not required, transport of a handgun, unloaded in a secure locked container, is allowed on bicycles and motorcycles, and in pickup trucks, vans and station wagons
Secure container
Secure is not defined in the Penal Code. The implication of the lock language suggests access to the handgun should be difficult without properly opening the lock. While this page cannot recommend brands or models, both hard-sided and soft-sided gun cases and other 'substantial' enclosures which can be locked would seem to fulfill the requirements of the law.
Fully enclosed
Fully enclosed is not defined in the Penal Code. This language does disallow the use of only a trigger lock or cable lock; locks without the fully-enclosing containers are not locked containers.
