Long gun transportation questions

[Tekkno]

Since the Long Gun open carry was banned on 1/1/13, I wonder do we have to lock up our long guns in a Hard case when we are transporting our long guns? and do we have to lock up our long guns in a hard case when we transporting them from a place ( e.g home, shop, range) to our car?
How about school grounds? Does college count as "school ground" in California? Do i need to lock up my Long guns in a locked container when i park my car at college/University?
The new law is confusing me..
Thank you very much.

Edit --
All of the situation i have mention above are long guns (rifles, Shotguns) that are UNLOADED.

PC 626.9 (h)

(h) Notwithstanding Section 12026, any person who brings or
possesses a loaded firearm upon the grounds of a campus of, or

years.

[ETA added section (i) - loaded is punished more severely than just possession, but possession is also illegal.]

Best you do not bring your long guns or ammo onto school property, and yes, college/university is definitely included. That includes locked in your car. Park off-campus if you must keep your guns in your car.

I wonder if anyone will ever challenge the student housing aspect of this law. Seems to be a violation of your right to have a loaded weapon in your home. Just because its a student home shouldn't matter. They are alduts

yes I agree its against their rights but until they do away with the gun free school zones they have to abid by the law or be turned into a criminal IIRC texas is trying to pass a law to let college students carry on campus but I doubt we in CA will ever see a bill like that be introduced

The law above is referring to a LOADED long gun, how about an UNLOADED long gun in my truck? Am i legal to have an unloaded long gun in a trunk?
I am not looking for trouble, but I just want to have some protections while i travel around

You even quote my ETA where I note I added unloaded guns ...

ON COLLEGE/UNIVERSITY CAMPUS or school property, guns will get you a felony conviction; longer sentence if loaded. If you ever get LTC, guns listed on that license are exempt. (That's from criminal charges - administrative action against students/faculty/staff is different.)

OTHER THAN ON CAMPUS and a few other places, legal to carry around a long gun, unloaded, in your vehicle.

Alright, now i get it. Better not to have anything related to firearms in campus.
