People aren’t understanding my point.
I am not saying this guy is wrong. I am not saying California is right for its very bizarre gun laws (if interpreted as the officials are interpreted here would mean you could never transport one as pointed out upthread).
I am just saying, as a frequent flier, that airports today are very paranoid places and you should figure that all laws will be interpreted against you the citizen.
It ain’t necessarily right — but it is very much so.
Given that the weapons and firearms were all secured in locked gun transport cases, he would have been perfectly entitled to bring them all INTO THE TERMINAL to check them into baggage, "if" he had been going to the airport to fly, rather than the pick up an arriving passenger.
This whole fiasco is simply due to ignorant, out of control police who are anti-gun and pushing an anti-gun agenda.
