To be police chief in rabid Left Berkeley, CA you can’t be too interested in actually enforcing the laws against things like vandalizing chain stores, blocking traffic, or beating up conservatives.
Off topic question for having to leave my gun in the car:
I am a little interested in the steering column holster. Do any of you have experience with attaching one that is non magnetic?
“Even a loaded magazine locked in the trunk and the gun in the passenger section is considered a âloadedâ weapon. “
It is my understanding from reading the operative statues, that a handgun in a car must be unloaded ( and that simply means that a magazine is not inserted into the magwell or rounds in the cylinder) and in a “locked container” which cannot be the glove compartment. But that you can have said “locked container” anywhere in the vehicle (even in your lap). You can go look it up in CalGuns. A loaded magazine or a speedloader are not considered to be “a loaded” handgun.
“I am a little interested in the steering column holster. Do any of you have experience with attaching one that is non magnetic?”
You must drive a pre-WWII vehicle. I haven’t seen a csr with enough steering column to which once could attach a holster since I got rid of my 1932 Ford roadster.
This is the “My baby dint do nuffin” mind set. The gun was just sitting there and it compelled the thug to break in to the car and steal it. “My baby was just walking next to the car in his cap and gown and the gun flew out of the car and in to his pocket. He dint do nuffin.”
There have been prosecutions for a “loaded gun” for having a magazine loaded outside of the gun. You are right, the locked container can be anywhere.
