LOS ANGELES -- A man who showed up at Los Angeles International Airport on Friday with a container of handguns, rifles and loaded ammunition magazines in his pickup truck was arrested, an airport official said.
Los Angeles Airport Police officers stopped the Chevy Silverado at 10:49 a.m. at a checkpoint on westbound Century Boulevard at Sepulveda Boulevard, one of the main entrances into the passenger terminal area, said Nancy Suey Castles of Los Angeles World Airports.
Oh sure...
Meanwhile the (CTA) central terminal area, has 400 taxi cabs circling it 24 hours per day, most all of which are driven by Muslims/Mid-Easterners...
I read in another article that he said he was going to the airport to pick someone up.
LOL...
Two issues here:
California’s penal code 12025 addresses transportation of handguns. Short story is that they must be unloaded, in a locked container. Ammunition must be stored separately, but need not be in a locked container.
Long guns need not be in a locked container to be transported, but they must be unloaded.
The definition of “unloaded” is defined in case law. Since a magazine is a part of the gun (hard to argue that it’s not) people have been arrested for transporting a “loaded” weapon even if the magazine is not attached to the gun.
The AG’s summary is here:

I don’t know the PC for the search, though. My be as simple as consent.
Generally to transport handguns, one needs to store ammunition and guns in different locked compartments.
Otherwise they can arrest you for carry concealed without a permit.
Here in Indiana there is a special permit required to transport a handgun to a shooting range, if you do not have a concealed weapons permit.
30 handguns!!
I wonder what he was hunting for???
I just ink all those documents required by the government with a rubber stamp.
Too bad that it isn’t sarcasm.
Sadly, all the things Bat Man says are accurate. Lots of stuff that the government says “must be” that our Founding Fathers had said, literally - “over my dead body”.
No, I’m serious. I think the gubmint considers LAX a high value target.
They have also installed super-heavy concrete planters around many of terminal entrances, so as to thwart a truck bomb plowing in...
In the same article (which I didn’t see at first), it says he was planning to take them into LAX. Why?... We don’t know yet. Maybe he was going to hand them off to the someone there.
Bringin’ in a couple of keys...
This sort of reminds me of the scene in Airplane where people were walking through the metal detector with rifles, machine guns, bazookas, etc.
Have you seen the new Capital One commercial where the two Vikings slam down armloads of medieval arms on the airport scanner belt? I love that one.
If you are unable to detect such obvious sarcasm, I pity you.
Better look at that video again. This exact spot is within approximately 100' of Sepulveda, which runs under Century. Actually, I'd bet it's west of Sepulveda. Hint: See roadway to the north of the suspect vehicle.
Bringing the guns? Was he possibly taking the guns to LAX?
How would that stop a bomb filled taxi from disintegrating 300+ people standing out front on the inner and outer arrival islands?
Yours;
yes, he was meeting someone there.
