| − | Mr. Rawles expands on specific progressive police states, "The [[unfree state|worst states]] to for a gun owner to live in are of course the “Locked up and Unloaded” States such as [[New Jersey|Neu Jersey]] and [[California|Kalifornia]]. According to the [[NRA-ILA]], under California law, to legally have an unloaded handgun in your car outside of a locked container you must be going to or from a [[shooting range]], to or from a [[gun show]], or on a [[hunting trip]]. Otherwise, they must be both unloaded and locked in a case or in the vehicle’s locked trunk. (See California Penal Code sec. 12025 and 12026 for details.) I suppose that means that if you want to carry an unloaded handgun in your car and don’t want to have to spend extra time both having to take the time to get it out of a locked case AND then loading it, you should always carry a pair of earmuffs, some shooting glasses, and some targets in your car… “But [[police state|officer]], I was planning to go to the range after work!”"<ref>223 {{Template:James Wesley Rawles authorized quotation}} February 12, 2015 [[http://survivalblog.com/gun_laws_as_a_criteria_for_cho/ Gun Laws as a Criteria for Choosing Your Retreat Locale].
