At an airport? Doesn't he own a radio or TV?
I don’t see the problem, he didn’t try to take them into the terminal or board an aircraft with them.

According to CA law, he would have been in just as much trouble had he stopped at a Starbucks. If you own a “registered assault weapon” you can ONLY transport it from it’s safe to the range, nowhere else. I assume this would mean stopping to pick up a shooting buddy at his house, too.
The other guns (surprised the Breeze didn’t call it an arsenal) are not subject to the law.
He has to carry his “assault weapon” paperwork with him when he transports it, too.
It would be easy to stake out one of these registered owners and wait for him to stop for gas. “Driver’s license and registration, please, and open your trunk. What’s this! An assault weapon!”
It wasn’t the guns or the ammo that was the problem so much as the registered, and thus legal,”assault” rifle he had.
He claims that he was unaware of the law on such firearms that states that they may only be transported to and from a legal activity, i.e. to and from the range. However, it isn’t legal to do so when the range is one of several stops on the trip. It is arguable that the law is obscure, vague, and thus unknowable. As such, it would be unconstitutional. Also, IIRC, the State includes a whole laundry list of warnings about what isn’t legal to do with one’s registered “assault” rifle along with the registration documents. Excluding that one activity, transporting the rifle, implies permission to do so.
Of course, he might have had less trouble had he also been carrying a copy of the Koran, but I digress.
Did you read the whole article. I am flabbergasted what they did to this guy just for having some LOCKED UP guns in the back of his truck!!!!

I guess he didn't see the video of guns loading themselves up and climbing out of car trunks to prey on innocent citizens.
I can have a tractor-trailer load of guns and ammo at any airport here in Virginia as long as I don’t take them into the terminal. It must be another one of those asinine Kalifornia laws.
1000 rounds of ammo is not that much. 30 guns? one illegal the only thing they have him on is illegal transport of an illegal assault weapon? Sounds like they are desperate to make an example of him. I hope it gets dismissed.
