Los Angeles council OKs law requiring handguns to be locked up
Handgun owners in Los Angeles would have to keep their weapons locked in a box or disabled with a trigger lock under a measure aimed at protecting children that was given unanimous approval on Tuesday by the city council.
The provisions would not apply to people carrying a handgun or having one in their immediate control, such as when cleaning it, said Ian Thompson, a spokesman for Los Angeles City Councilman Paul Krekorian.
The measure is expected to be signed by Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, and would go into effect 30 days later.
With that, Los Angeles would join the California cities of San Francisco and Sunnyvale, which have similar rules, Thompson said. The states of Massachusetts and New York also have laws requiring guns to be locked up.
And then, there is this little law
This summer, Los Angeles adopted a law banning the possession of a handgun or rifle magazine holding more than 10 rounds.
I own several firearms that violate this law - sometimes you need a lot of firepower especially if someone is cranked up on PCP or other drugs.
They do not want to try an out and out grab, instead, they are using a moving window of creeping infringement - an Overton Window
