I haven't been to California in at about ten years, but last time I went there it was legal to have a revolver and a speedloader of ammunition in a lockbox inside the passenger compartment of a vehicle. No ammunition attached or in a magazine.
I am seeing on some sites that the way this is being enforced (or there's case law?) is that a handgun can only be in the vehicle if you are directly en route to a range or back. If they caught you in a Burger King drive through, for example, it's not a range trip.
Also, seeing that if you have a trunk, it has to be in the trunk.
Can anybody knowledgeable in California firearms law tell me if this is correct?
I have CCW permits from three states, but not CA, because they don't issue to non residents. Probably just as well off unarmed in Los Angeles.
