Unlike some open carry states, California has strict gun laws and it's important to know the legal guidelines as a gun owner when you're here: esfandilawfirm.com/los-angele... Need an Attorney? esfandilawfirm.com/criminal-d...
I'm gonna be charitable and try to give you a fair answer. California ranks 38th in the country in gun deaths. You don't have to take my word on that, you can look up the department of justice data for yourself. That's an incredible feat considering California's population. More importantly, the availability of guns don't lower gun deaths or crime. The reason why is because you can't really defend against an ambush. Predatory criminals always strike when you least expect it, even if you're armed, the likelihood that you'll be able to draw your gun and shoot them first while they already have a gun pointed at you is unrealistic. Crimes are often spontaneous, and having a gun on you at all times does not ensure you'll be able to deploy it in a high stakes situation. Unless you can see a deadly attack coming before it actually happens, being armed with a gun produces very low results in providing safety. This is proven by the various states with very loose gun laws where you seldom hear a news story about a good guy with a gun stopping a bad guy with a gun. Final point and food for thought. The argument can be made that criminals are more violent in heavily armed societies. Case in point, in the old western frontier just about every man walked around with a side arm holstered around their waist, even women would carry a gun for protection. So why was the old west so violent and deadly? Because there will always be criminals, and if a criminal wanted to rob you and they knew you had a gun they would just shoot and kill you first. They weren't going to take a chance that you might try and fight back. We make a big deal about gun violence today, but its child's play compared the american west in the 1800s. While we don't have data on gun deaths from that era, there are countless accounts of crimes like stage coach robberies where criminals would ambush and kill their victims without asking questions. There is an old saying that goes an armed society is a polite society; yeah thats partially true until someone gets drunk and belligerent and pulls out a gun. Before you know multiple people are dead often innocent bystanders. Moral of the story. Gun laws are not meant to stop crime, they're meant to limit the availability of guns. Laws do work, and if they can save even just a few lives they are worth it.
What is needed is stricter laws so they can't buy them. Straw buyers in Aizona/Nevada run wild selling guns in LA or Oakland. Every city with a gun violence problem despite strict laws has a nearby state feeding guns to criminals.
so if im from ca but live in nv and i wanted to bring my legal glock while traveling to ca it has to be in a lock box inside the car or in the trunk inorder to bring ? not unloaded in the glove box but only a lock box inside the car or trunk
What if it's in a box that's not locked, in a bag that's not locked, that's in another box that's not locked, inside of a box that's locked inside of a trunk that's not locked? 🤔
That's correct. One of the foremost privileges provided to you by the Fourth Amendment states that you can decline if asked for a vehicle search. As long as the officer doesn’t possess a warrant and you’re not under arrest, you can tell the officer that you don’t consent to a search. However, it’s important that you do not do it aggressively and that you don’t overstep your right when talking with the police. Politely but firmly say, “I do not consent to a search of my vehicle.”
@@LACriminalDefenseAtt And the second they ask "Is there a weapon in the vehicle", you lied because you said no. So if they ask and then find cause later in the interaction (maybe they saw a knife or something, idk, just some excuse they found to search) and then find it in a locked box..... Is lying about it considered willful concealment (IE: concealed weapon).
I suggest you add to this video if you are transporting with your gun some ammunition like 4 boxes that each have 50 rounds in them which equals 200 rounds.
What's "locked"? Is a zip tie "locked"? What's a "box"? Is a soft zippered rifle case a "box"? What if I have 2 or 3 rifles, unloaded, in soft zippered cases with the carry handles all 3 zip tied together (long zip tie)? Good to go?
There were a lot of critical details not covered in this video, such as how California defines a loaded and unloaded weapon and what constitutes a container for the purposes of transporting firearms. It’s a considerable disservice to not mention these points to viewers.
100% legal. And use a 3 digit combo lock thats always just 1 digit off (the middle one so theres no confusion when opening it regardless of orientation, 2 off if you want to use an uncommon method).
Not "should", but "has to be" in a locked container, yes. Carrying in a locked box is not considered concealed as long as it's a LOCK (3 digit combo is the best type where the middle digit is 1 off for easy access) and not one of those quick cases where it takes 5 fingers to open.
So if I have my pistol in my trunk, visible, not in a box, is it still good since the trunk closes? Like fi you were to open my trunk and seethe pistol right there upon opening the trunks right next to my cooler.
@@2WheelsdownNso if I have a box with a locking mechanism, I’m able to carry both my firearm & a loaded mag together in the locked box? (Mag is not in the firearm)
@@BR-cw1ij As long as its not one of those quick entry 5 finger cases yes. 3 digit combo lock where the middle digit is 1 off is the way to roll. Or just move out of CA and/or never visit Commiefornia ;) There is nothing there worth seeing anyway.
Contradictory statement 100%. What he failed to mention was that you CAN hide it anywhere in the car so long as it's in a locked box, unloaded. Not very good showing for a "lawyer" who is supposed to be a stickler for letter of the law details.
@@Alwaysvlogging101 No. A loaded mag is a part of a gun according to CA laws, you'd be going to the pokey if you do that. The loaded mag has to be locked as well. The only exception is if the mag is unloaded and you have no ammo anywhere in the vehicle UNLESS it's locked in a box lol. Confused yet? Moral of the story, never live in nor visit CA for any reason if I were you because you're not smart enough to live there. Besides, who would want to live in Commiefornia anyway. BTW, a mag is not a "clip".
It's neither. It's actually REQUIRED. You cant have unlocked mags in the car. Either they are locked in their on box or locked in with the gun (not loaded into the gun).
