It's a stupid law designed for partial or selective enforcement, to harass legit owners into giving them up, just like they did in the UK, with ever-incresing hassles to keep any firearm, until the number of people with a political stake were small enough so that the government there could push a total ban.
That's the deal with “right to carry” licenses, the guys who write the laws know who their opponents are and what district they vote in.

“Making laws that ban possession in any number of areas surrounding schools etc is Unconstitutional.”
I agree, but the Heller decision gives the antis some wiggle room here. We need another case and better decision.

If I was on the jury and that was the only issue, I would acquit the guy because the state is in violation of the constitution by placing a limit on how to transport the rifle. This brings up an interesting point. Could this law be challenged on the grounds that it violates the implicit "right to travel" based on First Amendment case law?

"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." 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.

Why did he get his car searched?
I have NEVER been asked to open my trunk as I parked at the airport.

In the post-Sept. 11 environment, it is well-known by weapon owners that airports and weapons simply do not mix, said Los Angeles Airport Police Chief George Centeno. That's why big game hunters all drive to Montana every year. What an idiot.
Buddies and I travel to handgun matches all over America by plane with our guns with no problems. Some hassles perhaps, but no arrests.

Because I guarantee if I announced I have a gun anywhere in public, you would be kissing dirt.Yes, I'm a shaking in my boots liberal, a commie and a wuss. I'm a Benefactor member of the NRA, have a CHL and support several other pro-gun institutions.
That being said, you're just another blowhard with delusions of grandeur, if you actually supported gun rights you would still be in the NRA, the JPFO, the GOA or some other group that actually does fight for gun owners rights. Instead you hide in anonymity on a forum and bluster about what a billy bad ass you are. Have a nice day.

Because when I go to the big city to pick up my wife at the airport after a TDY, I d@mn sure pack CCW. Am I a criminal?No, not if it's allowed in the vehicle. If you try to walk into the terminal all bets are off.....you know it as well as I.
I'm very surprised by this thread. We're not talking about some guy leaving his concealed weapon in a glove box, we're talking about someone that lugged a toolbox full of expensive weapons to an airport, with ammo and then wondering why there might be a problem. In this day in age he is either, naive, stupid or both. Hell, I can't drive onto my employers secured property with a weapon, unloaded or not. Is it right no. Is it legal to do so anyway....ask the hunters in Oklahoma that were all fired for bringing their hunting rifles to work.

I dont know what he thought he was doing, but this is gonna be used AGAINST 2nd Amendment types like us. Yea, and when a few folks don't turn in their "ugly black guns", and suffer BATFE raids, after Pelosi, Reid and B. Hussein ban them, will you say the same thing? "It will be used against us?"
The laws in CA are blatant violations of the Right to Keep and Bear arms, which we are "endowed by our Creator", and which is supposed to be protected by the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.

Having even locked-up guns anywhere near an airport is a very bad idea. Oh please, you can walk right up to the baggage check counter with unloaded and cased firearms, check them with your baggage, and then pick them up at baggage claim at the other end of your flight.
The only special handling they get is a hand inspection, since the nitrate sniffers are quite likely to go off on a gun case, wether there is currently a gun in them or not. Residue you know.
Christmas after 9-11(I think, might have been 2002), I put our nephew on a flight in Omaha, headed for the left coast to visit his folks, he also transported two scoped bolt action "sniper rifles", which his Dad has left with his Grandparents, in a double rifle case. No problem, very little extra bother. We watched 'em like hawks as they inspected that case though. (He transported the bolts in his checked bag, but that wasn't really necessary).

Might make a good test case for applicability of the second amendment to the states. Maybe not though, since assault weapons bans have not YET been tested at the federal level. But I suspect one soon will be, if the 'Rats in Control of Congress the Head Rat soon to be in the White House do what they've said, repeatedly, that they will do.

But, none of your business is uncalled for Not what he wrote. He wrote "none of *our* business". He wasn't being rude to you, he was making a statement about the nosiness of The Law.
