Gun Lockbox

California, can I have a gun and ammunition in the same case as long as the gun is not loaded? I live in CA and I have a PO box for my gun, but I want to leave the magazine loaded the weapon, if the mailbox is transported in the trunk of my car magazines can be loaded without being in the barrel and in the same box?

For the purposes of Pen C 12031 (possession of a loaded firearm), a firearm is loaded if there is an unsupported cartridge or attached in any way, the firearm, including the firing chamber , a magazine or a clip attached to the weapon. (Pen C 12031 (g)). Simply having the balls close to the weapon, which seems to be what you describe, would not be a violation of the law.

I've never seen anything against it. In your home, you do not even technically we need in a box, you're just responsible for any damage with it if it is not in a box.
