Can someone give me information related to magazines and weapons laws. I might be working in the Bay area near SF as a contractor thru the end of the year.
I normally travel with the following:

G42 back up with 2 mags 6+1
G41 primary with 6 mags 13+1
Mossberg 20 guage 3 +1

I have the shotty in a case unloaded and locked with ammo in a separate case unlocked, not within reach of the driver.
I usually carry both glocks, but have a safe in my vehicle and can transport the weapons, mags and ammo separate from the loaded mags.

I already googled and there are too many links with info.

Please point me in the right direction. Beers for anyone close to where I land in Fairfield CA. Thanks............

Scroll through the various threads at this link. They cover mags and transportation of guns.

No concealed carry without a California permit.  

Don't bring any mags that hold more than ten rounds.

If it's a pump shotgun, it's fine.

Those get you in compliance when you cross into CA.

SF may have additional restrictions but I'm not sure.

G41 will need to be limited to 10 +1 capacity. Go to magblocks.com and pick up a couple limiters to install before getting into CA or buy some 10 round mags. Guns must be in a locked container, mags can be loaded and in the same container, they can not be in the gun. Also center consol and glove box are NOT locked containers in CA, a cloth zip up pistol bag with 99¢ lock is, as well as the trunk of your car.

SF also bans certain carry ammo, basically anything marked "tactical" is a no go. FYI HST is marked Tactical on 50 round boxes but not on 20 round boxes for example. Also I believe SF has an ordinance against leaving firearms locked in your car while your not on it.

Thanks for all the replies. I think I will buy some 10 round mags for the 41 or a new revolver.

Pistols must be registered here if you establish a residency here.

No concealed carry permit needed in your house/residence.

I was looking for all this information as well. Looks like I'll be working for a couple months in Hayward, CA a little south of there starting next week.

Get the biggest folding lock-blade knife that you can comfortably carry concealed.

Be careful with the "residency" requirements and how your employer classifies you - it could impact firearms and vehicle registration.

Go out in your backyard and tie the Hayward Fault together for us.  If you thought 15 minutes wasn't enough warning for a tornado, wait til your first moderate eq surprises you with no warning.

Whatever you do, don't visit the Sierras, Yosemite, the coast or giant redwoods or the Point Lobos.  They're contgious.

I'm planning on checking out all that stuff. I've worked all along the west coast but this is my first time in North California. Never been through a decent earthquake, but I'm looking forward to it.
