California Penal Code 25400
The ammunition must be kept in a separate container. All weapons must also be unloaded while they are in a vehicle, even when they are inside a locked container.
People have been charged already for both of these violations. I don't certainly agree with them but it's best to be informed. Just go apply for your CCP it's a very easy process and most people can have a valid reason for being granted one.

These two codes have long been in CA. Not sure why people have no clue or argue about them. Again OP, suggest you leave the firearms at home when you are traveling to any part of CA.
