There was a thread here maybe 16 to 24 months back where a fellow forum member told his story of traveling through California with his pistol.
He and some family members (parents I believe) were returning home to Oregon, maybe on I-5, and pulled in to a rest stop to take a break, and some how got in an altercation with a group of 4 to 6 young adults.
He retrieved his pistol from the trunk (?) of his car and ended up firing a warning shot into the ground.
Somewhere along the way the police had been summoned, after the police arrived, they interviewed every one, and as I recall all were left to go on there merry way.
Apparently our fellow forum member was deemed to have been transporting legally and the police felt that his warning shot was justified.
I wish we could bump the thread because I am sure I got the gist of the story correct, Then again it's been a while so maybe I got it all wrong.
