I spoke to a Sheriff's deputy at the OC court house this morning and out of curiosity asked if a CCW allowed one to carry a handgun inside the court house. He pointed me to a sign near the entrance that said weapons of any kind were prohibited (it cited penal code 171b).

I said that a CCW was specifically one of the exemptions to that section and he very quickly told me that I was wrong.

I looked up 171b when I got home and it *does* say that CCW holders are exempt... Was the deputy simply misinformed or has something been changed?

/\ There is an CCW exemption in the penal code, but most courts have a local rule that guns are not permitted in court buildings except by LEOs. It's not even worth asking and all OC courts have metal detectors, so best to leave it in the car.

Yes, ... and maybe not.
Yes he probably was misinformed with respect to this specific code section but there are additional code sections that govern courthouses which give the head judge the authority to make those kind of restrictions.

It is the Presiding Judge who decides if weapons will be allowed in the Courts.

Locally, even on-duty LEO, if they are parties to a case being heard, aren't allowed to carry into the Family Law Courthouse...they have lockboxes at the entrance

...use common sense. It's a stupid idea to hang out in a bar while carrying, even if your IA does not restrict it.
Actually, it's one of the things prohibited on the standard application which you sign and agree to when getting your CCW.

This is what I said.
Even a judge is not permitted to violate law therefor, it is my understanding, there is a section within the CA Government Code (law) which grants the judge the authority to make that restriction.


No one, LEO, judge, DA, or any of us are permitted to have any weapon at all if we are a party to a case in any court in this state.

Yep, you got me there. That restriction applies to all licenses, regardless of issuing agency. Interesting that SSD types it on the license, unnecessarily since it's already a restriction. Their wording is "remaining at any establishment..."

If you look at your post that's not really what you said, outlaw.

Just to be clear, it's unlikely a CCW'er will be able to carry in any court house, regardless if they are a party to an action or not.

If it is not on the license, and not in the Penal Code, it doesn't matter.

The Application is not a 'contract', and any implication that it may be is, IMO, entirely gutted by the plain language of the Penal Code at 26200
Quote:
(a) A license issued pursuant to this article may include
any reasonable restrictions or conditions that the issuing authority
deems warranted, including restrictions as to the time, place,
manner, and circumstances under which the licensee may carry a
pistol, revolver, or other firearm capable of being concealed upon
the person.
(b) Any restrictions imposed pursuant to subdivision (a) shall be
indicated on any license issued.

The bigger point is interesting, but personally moot since I don't go to bars anyway.

So if it's not on the license we can drink in a bar, regardless of the admonishment on the application?

A hypothetical, obviously.

As the law stands today, yes.

There is a court case in Sacramento which may rule the other way. We shall see.

'Legality', of course, is distinct from 'wise'.

I traveled through LAX in 2013. called ahead to airport police about rearming after I retrieved my checked bag. asked the officer about using a bathroom stall to retrieve and reload my LC9 before heading to shuttle service. His only comment was concern that racking the slide might alarm anyone who might hear it.

Othewise had no concern about ccw in non sterile area of LAX.

Same thing at Oakland.

The shuttle is a "common carrier" i.e. bus. Therefore, it's illegal to carry on one without written consent. See the OP.

I find using the "family" restrooms the easiest solution. Typically a private room and usually have a small table/counter to use. Plenty of room to do your thing and stay out of sight/sound. There are usually 1 or 2 available in the area and more common in the arrivals section.

I didn't read the entire thread, but people need to be careful about carrying in any areas of an airport. It's an assumption to think that it's ok to carry on the non-sterile side of an airport with a CCW. For instance, Orange County Airport doesn't permit firearms except for the exceptions noted and a CCW is not one of them. Also, note that it says "on the airport" and not "in" the airport. So be careful if picking someone up at the curb or if airport LE has an inspection checkpoint set up.


Quote:
OCCO 2-1-53(i)
No person, except peace officers, an authorized post office or Airport employee or a member of the armed forces of the United States on official duty, shall carry any weapon, explosive or flammable material on or about his person, openly or concealed, on the Airport without the written permission of the Airport Director. This Section shall not apply to persons carrying firearms in cases, broken down or unloaded when said firearms are being transported by air. For the purposes of this section, a weapon includes all those listed in California Penal Code Sections 12000-12654.

Yes, but such sinage doesn't carry the weight of law in CA. At the worst they can ask you to leave and if you don't tag you with trespassing.

When it's backed by city or county ordinance it surely does. You may beat the charge, but you will not beat the ride.

Once again, why do we tolerate law enforcement that makes arrests when there is no charge?

What you describe is clearly intimidation to get the general populace to behave the way the bullies want them to.

Actually, yes it does. It's a Codified Ordinance; it is enforceable. OCCO = Orange County Codified Ordinance.

That is not what I'm describing. I'm describing a situation where there is clearly a government ordinance that prohibits carry at a particular place. If found carrying in that place you will be arrested and very likely charged. If you have good circumstances and a good lawyer and justice wins the day you may beat the charge. If you have the money and the willingness to be the crash dummy go for it. Otherwise there are other ways to defeat the infringement without ending up in jail. At the very least your IA will probably yank your license.

Armed civil disobedience at an airport is not going to curry favor with a CA judge or Joe jury member.

Please describe what not tolerating it specifically entails, in your opinion. Ignoring the local codes and carrying anyway? If so, what's your personal risk/benefit analysis consist of? Personally speaking, mine leads me to conclude the the risk inherent in carrying illegally in an airport outside the sterile area in a city or county that has codified prohibitions against it is greater than the risk of being unarmed in that location. To conclude otherwise, based on the available data, is illogical. Is your stance based more on a refusal to submit framework? Everyone has to evaluate that for himself or herself. I'm not going to jeopardize my family's well being to make that particular statement in that situation. If you choose to, that's your decision.

Violation of any OCCO is a misdemeanor.

Quote:
ORDINANCE NO. 2725

Thanks for that clarification.

So, basically, any city can pass any ordinance and we are subject to it? How are we supposed to survive without breaking some obscure law? I'm not arguing the validity of what you said. I'm just trying to understand my tenuous position as a CCW holder.


For the record, I don't test these waters. If a place posts a sign that they don't want me carrying my gun in there, then I don't go there. Just like carrying in a bar may be legal, I choose not to test that theory.

This is extremely common. Counties, cities, park districts, etc. Look up the city and county codes in your region. Most of 'em are online.

This is an area of concern to all of us.

I don't know the exact details of how it works, but basically the State has declared that it, and it alone, shall govern the area of firearm laws. (With some very specific exceptions) This was very deliberate to avoid a patchwork of confusing and contradictory laws.

The general consensus would probably be that a city or county (including Orange County) cannot pass an ordinance prohibiting CCW within their borders. Yet we see ordinances all over the place regarding parks, arenas and airport grounds.

What is the legal theory that allows one but not the other? Or is it a situation where a narrow prohibition leaves us nodding and saying either "I'm OK with that" or "It's not worth the fight". Whereas a more broad prohibition would bring down the wrath of the entire firearm lobby.

As Rastoff notes, one lives in constant fear of running afoul of some law one had no practical way of knowing about.

This is the problem when laws try to be specific. Just like the bullet button, there are always ways around laws. So, specific cities can dodge state law by writing ordinances. It's very frustrating living in this modern world.

All the state pre-empts is registration and licensing by any other entity. Possession? Sale? Not covered.
Thank for the eye-opening.

Glancing through the referenced decision in "Fiscal v. City and County of San Francisco", I took away the understanding that the ordinance was stuck down in it's entirety because some aspects interfered with state preemption. Technically, the court could have decided to sever the conflicting elements out of the ordinance, though that is not usual.

By the same token, SF could, at any time, simply pass another ordinance that does not conflict and outright bans possession. Signs at the border and everything.

Sorry...don't mean to get a discussion rolling here. If I decide to pursue this thinking I'll start a thread in the appropriate forum.

So... if someone with a valid CCW is picking up another person at the Orange County Airport ... they cannot have a firearm in the vehicle even if it's in a locked case? I'm confused as to what the CCW person is supposed to do under these circumstances since I thought locking the firearm in a box was the "fix" for places where CCW permit holders cannot go... Guess the same thing applies to Post Offices but a little easier to park and walk to a post office than to park and walk to most airport terminals (and I'm guessing an argument could be made that off-site long-term parking is still "on airport"... since it's part of the standard airport maps etc.

I'm looking at the Common Carrier prohibition, and from reading the section it sounds like Federal Law only makes it illegal if the common carrier is going interstate or international, so Alcatraz Ferry would not count. Is my reading correct? I'm not a lawyer, but was trying to sort this out for times I take public transit.

(e) It shall be unlawful for any person knowingly to deliver or cause to be delivered to any common or contract carrier for transportation or shipment in interstate or foreign commerce, to persons other than licensed importers, licensed manufacturers, licensed dealers, or licensed collectors, any package or other container in which there is any firearm or ammunition without written notice to the carrier that such firearm or ammunition is being transported or shipped; except that any passenger who owns or legally possesses a firearm or ammunition being transported aboard any common or contract carrier for movement with the passenger in interstate or foreign commerce may deliver said firearm or ammunition into the custody of the pilot, captain, conductor or operator of such common or contract carrier for the duration of the trip without violating any of the provisions of this chapter. No common or contract carrier shall require or cause any label, tag, or other written notice to be placed on the outside of any package, luggage, or other container that such package, luggage, or other container contains a firearm.

You're talking the ferry to Alcatraz Island, right?

Quote:
Firearms in National Parks
As of February 22, 2010, a new federal law allows people who can legally possess firearms under applicable federal, state, and local laws, to legally possess firearms in this park. However, 36 CFR ยง 2.4(a)(1)(iii) still prohibits the use of any weapon, trap or net in the National Parks. This includes those persons residing in the State of California that possess a valid State of California carry-concealed weapon permit (also known as a Carry Concealed Weapon (CCW) permit). These permits are typically issued by the county sheriff of the county where the state resident resides.

Actually no, I'll be using the local light rail to get to work. And I had a recent trip where I took the Amtrak train into SF without knowing about the Common Carriers, but didn't think they were restricted after reading the section and reading this thread: https://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/...d.php?t=479831

I used the search but didn't find anything. I ride the metrolink from OC to la and back regularly. Can I CCW on metrolink? Their site is silent about it.

The thread has wandered a bit from its original intent, I started it for state/federal level laws. There has been some local regulation discussed, but metrolink has not been discussed to my knowledge. You would need to refer to the responsible agency regulations for that.
