Incidentally, I called these bozos and asked if there was a problem if I transported my "assault weapons" through California during a change in residence. The squirt told me that it was "technically illegal" and may be a felony.

The FAQ on the website, on the other hand, says that it's OK, as long as they are in a locked case or locked trunk, meeting the same travel regulations as handguns possessed by non-CCW holders.

You're the bozo. If you want to get arrested for asserting your RKBA arms, don't come cryin' to the FR when you let the gun banners know you have something in your possession that allows them to make an example of you.

That's the problem in the nutshell with gun regs, especially Kalifornia's. Most of the time, the police and officials don't even know what the laws mean, and some of the laws contradict each other, or are so vague as to be open to easy abuse. But then again, that's likely the whole point, to make a nest of laws so complex that anyone even remotely connected with gun ownership can be convicted of a felony.
