The man arrested at Los Angeles International Airport with a trunk full of guns and nearly 1,000 rounds of ammunition said Saturday that he is a law-abiding weapons enthusiast who had no idea he might be breaking the law. [More]There will always be one more "i" to dot, one more "t" to cross. And, of course, "ignorance of the law is no excuse."
Unless it's this law, and you happen to be one of those supposedly bound by it...
We'll never be "law-abiding" gun owners as long as the right of the people to keep and bear arms is infringed.
And in case anyone doesn't get it, that's the way our enemies want it at this stage of the game.

I can't get the article to load so I must be missing something...
Unless he's a felon (or other prohibited person) or the guns aren't on "the list", how could he be breaking the law?
Last time I checked, a locked trunk is where you transport guns even in the most draconian states.
"... it was illegal in California to make a pit stop while transporting the weapon from his home to the gun range."
So if, on the way to the range, you stop to get gas for your truck, you just committed a felony? How would that be different than picking someone up at the airport? WTF??
Those are rhetorical questions. It's obvious exactly why they do things that way. Someone should be "dotting theirs i's" from a distance; enough of that and there wouldn't be any need to "cross the t's".
What ever happened to criminal intent?
Last week it was the storage unit guy.
Now this week its this guy.
Next week we get Obama.
This makes David's life too easy in reporting news, LOL!
Bob R,
Some police officers follow people home from shooting-ranges to make sure that they don't stop. Its not an uncommon practice, because its an easy way to prey on people who aren't paying attention.
It's a bullshit law for chickenshit cops afraid to go after 'real' criminals.
That would be all of them anon. I don't recall seeing any of them going into south central, or anywhere else where they had real criminals actually using guns to break the law. I don't think anybody else has seen it either.
Better get a case of Depends when you get that box of ammo because it can be a looooong drive back from the range, and you better not make ANY pit stops.
Even if I lived in Kali(goddess of murder, blood and death)fornia, I'd stop where I damn well pleased, when I pleased, and at least one of my guns would be loaded and at hand, including my banned semi-auto rifle with MegaMag, and we can argue about it if Officer Spyboy decides he's done everything he wants to do in this life.
I am as serious as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. This stuff is a couple of baby steps from the camps and cattle cars.
And some people insist we see conspiracies under every brick in the sidewalk.
It's stories like this one that not only tick me off, but make me glad I moved to Nevada. No, I didn't move because of guns - it was for a girl ;-) Sure makes it nice for the guns, though.
I went shooting with a couple of friends from NC on Wednesday and we made a stop at State Line so we could get one of 'em into California for his first time. I had to leave the car in Nevada and walk to CA because I don't have a locking container for my (I keep it loaded) pistol in my trunkless vehicle and I had my AK-47 on board with three 30 round mags. We thought it was kind of funny that we had to walk for one thing and that a Las Vegas establishment advertised full auto rental guns not 1/10 mile inside Nevada on a billboard. We stayed for a few minutes, took a picture, and were on our way. At least there were no border crossings to deal with... yet.
If it's properly concealed and there are no metal detectors and you don't give anybody an excuse to frisk you, I understand that California works quite well for concealed carry. I have my sources that still live there. I lived there three times in my life from the Mexican border to the Oregon border and in-between too, but it was before it became anything like it is now.
There's some wonderful hunting and fishing and the ironic thing is modern tactical/IPSC/IDPA originated in California before the laws got all weird and people like us moved to Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Texas, Nevada, Montana, Missouri, Arkansas, etc...
Probably why Cali cops have such horrid marksmanship, on average, they ran off their Jack Weavers and all his compadres with silly laws that help nobody.
