Hello. This is my first post but I've recieved tons of insight from this forum.
A few months ago, there was a shooting in Los Angeles and a friend of mine witnessed the shooter as he escaped so he stayed until the police arrived. He said to the officer in a joking matter that if he had a gun, he would have shot the assailant.
The officer said yeah he should. My friend responded that he doesn't have a conceiled carry license, nor would he be able to get one anyway but the officer replied "as long as it's owned legally, if you happen to have it in your car, go ahead." My friend implied that since you're trying to deter further harm to others, it's justified.
As I understand, I see two violations. One being that you can only transfer your handgun and/or ammunition to and from home and a range/firearms dealer. Two, well if you don't have a conceiled carry license, the fiream must not exit the vehicle for any other reason.
That's just gyst of it. I hope it's enough details to work with. What are your opinions? Does the officer's statement hold water? I'd definitely like some hard evidence to back this up (like news articles or actual legislation) but two cents are fine too.
