Get yourself a copy so you can avoid having to be a jail house lawyer.

By the way, CCWI is a consultant for the book and his name is in it. So believe what he is telling you.

Here goes:

12026.1. (a) Section 12025 shall not be construed to prohibit any
citizen of the United States over the age of 18 years who resides or
is temporarily within this state, and who is not within the excepted
classes prescribed by Section 12021 or 12021.1 of this code or
Section 8100 or 8103 of the Welfare and Institutions Code, from
transporting or carrying any pistol, revolver, or other firearm
capable of being concealed upon the person, provided that the
following applies to the firearm:
(1) The firearm is within a motor vehicle and it is locked in the
vehicle's trunk or in a locked container in the vehicle other than
the utility or glove compartment.

12026.2. (a) Section 12025 does not apply to, or affect, any of the
following: (d) As used in this section, "locked container" means a secure
container which is fully enclosed and locked by a padlock, keylock,
combination lock, or similar locking device. The term "locked
container" does not include the utility or glove compartment of a
motor vehicle.

In other words, you transport a handgun by itself (not locked in it's own container) and you violate

12025. (a) A person is guilty of carrying a concealed firearm when
he or she does any of the following:...

Is that clear enough?

I just find this very interesting. He asked a question. He got a answer. Now he wants proof. . . . .

If I said yes it was legal (it is not) would you still have asked for proof.

I'm just curious, it nothing personal.

There are a lot of us like that. We just want to be able to cite the code when we get into an argument. That is why I suggested THE book. It lays it out in plain English and also cites the PC.

I could have...

And to harleybass47... I highly recommend that you go to that website and start reading. From about 12020 through 12054. And then get the book and then do some more reading. California's Firearms laws are confusing enough already. Read the Law. The book will fill you in on Case Law that clarifies things some more.

Can you carry in your center consol if you have your CCW, or do you have to keep it on your person? Thanks

It has to be in you immediate control. I think center consol would qualify while you are driving. But you would have to take it with you or secure it properly if you left it in the vehicle.
