[45 ACP]

Based on what's in the Penal Code, it's true. HOWEVER, what the poster on Calguns is counting on is:

1. The officer on scene "believing" that you're in fact enroute to go fishing/hunting. Where I work, not likely. Rural counties, maybe.

2. The DA is going to use the Fish and Game definition of "loaded" when it comes to firearms.

I also noticed the original poster of that comment (E Pluribus Unum) said he takes out the magazine when he "drives into the city." That's because the DFG definition of "loaded" doesn't apply in a city.

I suspect he also does this because he couldn't even come close to arguing he's enroute to fish/hunt when he's driving around town between the Mega-Lo Mart, the auto shop, and the grocery store.

He seems to be tip-toeing around the law by claiming he's enroute to hunt/fish at all times he's not in the city. Uh-huh, right.

Is it worth the risk to your financial well-being and your right to possess firearms under state law?

Are you willing to be a test case? Can you (literally) afford to be?

These are the questions you must ask yourself if you want to operate in the nebulous regions of the law.

Read the legal definition of probable cause in relation to arrest. It doesn't take much.
