Break down and UOC ban

[Librarian]

Not to hijack this thread or anything but what if I have a soft zippered notebook case and a key padlock to put on the zippers to prevent it from opening without the key? Could I then open the trunk and walk to safety?

Yes - that's a locked case.

And, if you don't want to hijack a thread, the traditional solution is to start a new one.

The OP shouldn't have to lock his gun away like he's ashamed of it or something but that is the reality of current California Law. Until that particular bit of statist arrogance can be eliminated (hopefully with extreme prejudice) avoiding the particular problem outlined is just too easy to obsess about. Get a GunVault NV300 NanoVault or something similar and keep it under seat or in the trunk. If the OP needs something easier to transport then a small backpack or one of those tool bags that just about every Home Depot or Lowes sells. Some have zippers that are made to be locked by a luggage lock and any can be quickly adapted to be lockable.
