California Penal Code 12026.1 permits firearm owners to transport undisclosed or unadvertised firearms.

California Penal Code Section 12025 does not forbid residents over 18 yrs old, (who has no restrictions for firearms) from carrying a licensed firearm. The firearm should be:

(1) Carried in a car that is locked. This can be in the vehicle’s closed trunk or glove box.

(2) The firearm is transported lawfully and for lawful purposes while at the same time being secured in a locked container.

(b) This means that according to this chapter, firearm holders are not restricted from carrying a weapon that is concealed.

(c) A “locked container” is defined as a container that is securely closed with a key or pad lock. Consequently, in the event you are driving in a school zone, you will have to comply with these requirements and place your firearm in a secured container.

The following could be considered a legal means of transporting a firearm that is covered by PC 12025:

Sharon has moved to a bad neighborhood with her three kids. She would like to have a safer environment for them, but times are tough and this is the best that she can do. To help protect her and the kids, Sharon places a gun in a locked box under her driver’s side door. One day, Sharon is pulled over by the police who then search her car. They find the gun and tell her that she does not have the right to transport the weapon in her vehicle. Sharon states: “yes I can, in accordance with California penal code 12025. The gun is under my seat and it is in a locked box”.

California penal code section 12026.1 (CPC 12026.1) is essentially outlining the lawful way to transport a firearm in certain vicinities in the state of California.

    "In life you need a good mechanic, a good Doctor, and a Super Lawyer."

    There’s no words to describe Mr. Collins, not just as an attorney but a Super and Great Human Being. He has been an “Angel” and “Life Saver” for one of my family members.

    By Profession, I’m a Radio and TV Host, and I’ve interviewed and talked to quite a few in this Profession, and trust me when I say, that I’m so impressed with Mr. Collins and in today’s modern times it’s hard to find someone that works so hard, cares, and makes things happen!!!

    In life you need a good mechanic, a good Doctor, and a Super Lawyer. Trust him, believe in him and you become one of the “Winners” by hitting “Jackpot” with your legal needs:)

    "Trustworthy, honest, hard working and caring attorney."
    If anyone needs a trustworthy, honest, hard working and caring attorney, it’s without any doubt, Mr. Randy Collins. I have had many contacts throughout my lifetime, and I have never ran into such a professional in the law field. He’s also a very caring individual that listens to the client and shows great respect.
    Mary
    "Randy is the obvious choice!"
    Randy worked tirelessly for over two years to have my case dismissed and I can’t thank him enough for everything that he did for me.
    Ray
    "Glad I had Randy to guide me through it."
    I had the unfortunate experience of being too drunk one night in DTF which led to a Drunk in Public charge. I was able to hire Randy after looking online for a good lawyer. I ended up paying about $3,500 for his services and he got the case dismissed. It was an easy process. It was my first time getting in trouble with the law, and I am glad I had Randy and Chris there to guide me through.

    "The one attorney you want on your side!"
    He is amazing!! I'm am happy to say that my daughter's charges were dismissed! Randy did an excellent job!!! I couldn't have made a better decision the day I called his office.
    Leslie
    "He went above and beyond!"
    Mr. Collins is highly recommended. He really takes the time to listen and answer all your questions. He went above and beyond on helping me out with an issue that was never my fault.
    Erik
    "An Attorney I Could Trust"
    I called to inquire about a case I was facing, this was one of the many attorneys I was speaking with during a free consult about my next steps. The future was looking more and more alarming as the implications of what I was facing were becoming clear. Halfway through explaining my situation, he interrupted me and asked some basic information, put me on hold for one second and came back telling me he had called around and found out that my case was not proceeding. Four other attorneys I had spoken to did not do this, and in fact had used scare tactics and worst case scenarios to try and hard sell me into signing a retainer. (unfortunately, the evening before I HAD with another attorney signed a retainer but thats for another review) Although I did not need to retain the services of this office, I believe that single action speaks worlds about the integrity, helpfulness, intelligence and capabilities of this office. In a world that is so difficult for the uninitiated, such as the legal system, it seems people are taking advantage of you at every turn. It was a welcome and uplifting experience to see the opposite of that with this law office and I am so grateful I was able to find them and know I could call them if anything were to ever happen to me later in life and know I could trust this team.
    Chris
    "I am extremley grateful for their help!"
    Randy, Chris, and his team are amazing. Having talked to other offices, this one was the most responsive, caring, and downright most helpful. They are all super knowledgeable in defense and I am extremely grateful for their help. I 100% recommend and suggest you try a consultation.
