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.

At Law Offices of Randy Collins, your satisfaction is our priority! See for yourself what our clients have to say about working with us.

"They are such a great team to work with."
I was new in the US and I didn’t know anything or what to do from Day 1 from presenting my case to Randy. He reassured me that he would help me and that I shouldn’t worry. He was very supportive, responsive to every question no matter how silly it was he was very patient and comforting. He knew exactly how to address the problem and had a plan of action and after a long 2 years, he won my case I appreciate every effort Randy & Chris have done. They are such a great team to work with and I would recommend him in a heartbeat

Dalia
"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.

John
"Randy is one of the best attorney's you could ever have."
Randy is one of the best attorneys you could ever have. I’m eternally grateful to Randy and his team for his dedication and professionalism. Randy is very brilliant when it comes to felonies, probation violations, or other criminal cases... Randy is the best lawyer you can have. when other lawyers told me they couldn’t help me out... Randy always told me he can help me and there was never an impossible case to bring in his favor. He was always in touch and keeping me updated on my case, and he gave me the peace and comfort I needed during difficult times. This is the second time he has had to help me stay away from jail. I will never look into other lawyers. I’ll be a loyal client to Randy from now on. You are #1, Randy. Thank you

Adriana
"We are forever thankful to have found Randy."
I cannot express how grateful I am to Randy and his team for the amazing job representing my dad. He was detailed, dedicated, and truly caring for my family throughout the entire process. We are forever thankful to have found Randy. It is rare to find a legal team that feels like extended family. We truly felt so cared for by him and Chris. His knowledge and expertise helped guide us through a very difficult situation and we are so happy to have found this team. I would refer Randy to anyone looking for legal representation. Randy is the best lawyer to call!!

Julia
"Passionate and always available."
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
"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
"Caring and Genuine Attorney"
I called the office and right off the bat, I was super impressed at how much help I was receiving without even meeting in person. Chris (the guy who answered my call) is extremely nice and he explains everything so well. He told me how he used to work at the courts for many years (that gave me relief that he knew what he was talking about). Randy (the attorney) is delightful as well and put my worries to rest with his expertise and knowledge. You can tell by his demeanor and how passionate he speaks, that he is genuine and he cares about his clients. This office handles everything from DUI cases to just about anything criminal related.

Former Client
"Man of his word - got the issue resolved."
I hired Randy after my previous attorney failed to give me proper information and caused me to violate my probation. Randy appeared in court for got the issue resolved without any head aches. He was a man of his word and I highly recommend him.
