Why do I feel the need to bring along a firearm? We travel in a camper van and camp out here and there as we move along (along with staying in hotels, Air BNB, etc). We are traveling down through Utah and Nevada to CA and then back again. I don't really want to be in the middle of nowhere unarmed in the middle of the night.
I'll respond in another way. This is what I did without a carry permit. It more than meets CA law.
Put your g26 unloaded in a locked container by its self or with unloaded mags. I normally kept 1-2 unloaded mags with the gun in the locked container).
Put that locked container in a small backback (basic jansport type).
Take your box or 2 of ammo and place that in the same backpack. Occasionally I'd place a loaded mag in the same backpack but in a different section.
Zip up the back pack and place it in the back (backseat floor board, back of RV, trunk, etc).
I have also locked the backpack at times. It's not needed but that could be considered locking up you're ammo/loaded mags separate from the gun as there's 2 separate locks...if you really want to play safe.
Youre done. Get to hotel and carry in your luggage and back pack and no one will blink an eye.
The thing is that you want things to look like a safe transport to LE or a DA, rather than a slightly delayed access CCW.
I don't mean to quote out of context. Follow the law, of course. But this, imo, is important and the 'slightly delayed access ccw' is phrased well.
And that's why I didn't put loaded mags with the gun inside the locked container.
The occasional loaded mags I may have had were still in the back pack but in a separate area/section of the backpack than the locked gun container.
