With the usual caveats/disclaimers aside (I know you are not giving legal advice, etc.), if a person wished to visit (as in not just passing thru - i.e. FOPA does not apply, but not taking up residence either - maybe staying a few days, no more than a week or two), what are the legalities on taking a semi-auto pistol into California?
It would be something like a SIG that normally has more than 10 round capacity, but for purposes of the visit, it would only have mags of ten round capacity or less.
What about something like a Kahr PM9 with 7+1 rounds?
While driving, it would be unloaded, separate from ammo, in a compartment separate from the driver/passenger compartment, probably a locked 'safe' of some sort in an RV.
Beyond that, what are the legalities of having same said pistol out in the boonies, open carry, loaded while hiking or riding motorcycles off-road?
Beyond that, what are the legalities of having the firearm inside the RV while camping and sleeping inside? In Calif., is an RV parked/camping considered to be a domicile and therefore laws for having a firearm inside the same as for having it inside a house?
Appreciate, if you can, links to authoritative sites, or cites of Calif. law.
Just trying to plan in advance of what I am safe to do when I retire and travel around. Yes, I know things could change in 2-3 years, but what is the Calif. law now?
TIA
