I don’t see the problem, he didn’t try to take them into the terminal or board an aircraft with them.

“I don’t see the problem, he didn’t try to take them into the terminal or board an aircraft with them.”

Under Federal Law one cannot take a firearm past the security stations.

Now California or some other sub-unit of government may have their own rules, such as was contested in Atlanta.

That aside, Dominguez was charged not with the above but of not directly going to the range and detouring to the airport.

Many anti-second amendment ares have a rule stating the shooter must go directly to the range with no stops.

But, he was going to enter airport property with them and that is prohibited.

Where exactly was he arrested?

Apparently a technical violation of California law:

(from the article)
Dominguez said he got state permission to own and use the assault rifle last month but the approval letter didn't mention it was illegal in California to make a pit stop while transporting the weapon from his home to the gun range.

That code requires that “registered assault weapons may be transported only between specified locations,” according to the Web site of the California Attorney General’s Office.


What is at issue ... can you move from one location to another and stop along the way, while transporting an assault rifle in California. Since the man never made it to the terminal and since he was stopped by the police, this brings up an interesting question under the law (which I think is bad law).

If a person is transporting an assault rifle, and stops for gas, or is stopped by the police along the way, are they in fact in violation of this law. Or is a more common sense approach as the question of taking out the fire arm from the locked container ... the “measure” of the violation under this law.
