    If you're not a lawyer and not sure what to say
    Lawyers do not know what to say without preparation. Their attitude has some juice, however.

    I wouldn't call CHP gun friendly. They are the State police, and would probably rather that the people were unarmed.

      Is it better to have a key lock or 3 number combo lock? If you need to access it in a hurry I guess a key would be quick since you don't have to remember numbers?

        No - the glove box itself is not acceptable as the 'locked container' for unloaded transport of handguns. A distinct locking container may be carried anyplace in a vehicle, including in a glove box or a utility compartment (if you can figure out what that is).

          As noted above, the Legislature is in the process of re-definining "Assault Weapons" to include pretty much everything, including .22s. Which will impact how and when you can transport them.

            Is the cable lock thru both holes on a gun case acceptable?

              No, the law states that the glove box and the utility compartments are not locked containers. Having the unloaded gun in a seperate locked container meets the legal requirement for non-LTC transport, even if it is in the glove box.

              If you haven't seen it with your own eyes,
              or heard it with your own ears,
              don't make it up with your small mind,
              or spread it with your big mouth.

                As long as you cannot open the case when it is locked.

                A 12" cable lock through two holes that are right next to each other would allow you to open the container and remove the firearm without unlocking anything. That would be a bad thing.

                  It has one hole on each side of the handle so about 5" apart.

                    Same answer, If you can open it up and get the firearm out of the box without unlocking it, it is not locked in a secure container.

                    If you cannot get the gun out of the box without unlocking it, you are good to go.

                      Ok cool. Oh this is probably a dumb question but is a loaded mag in the locked case ok?

                            Could that be a reference to the compartment where a small bottle jack is stored? My truck has one.

                              Thanks! That's what I thought, although I have avoided the glove box altogether when transporting.

                                Maybe. Or, could be the place where one keeps a small bottle of Jack. But PC does not provide a definition for 'utility compartment' causing much [sarcasm]merriment[/sarcasm] here.
