I may have several extended work stays in San Pedro this summer. I would like to take a pistol with me.

Should I expect any shenanigans if I choose to take something that is CA-legal like a Shield 9? Locked case and all. Following all applicable TSA suggestions.

I usually fly in and out of Long Beach airport.

The last time I flew back into CA I had no problems.

You’ll be fine, same as flying anywhere else.

Just make sure when you’re here to follow all the laws in terms of transporting a pistol and don’t carry it.

No issues flying into San Diego. Very smooth, only an extra 10-15 minutes total. (didn't ask to open my case or even unzip my luggage when I departed)

Flying into California is the same as anywhere else, well except for NYC.

To transport it via motor vehicle it must be unloaded and kept in a locked container, ammunition separate.  A locked container does not include a glove box or center console.  But it does mean a trunk, assuming you can't access it via the passenger compartment.

A soft case is also a locked container.

The ammo can be stored with the firearm, but not touching it.  Anything between the two prevents the two from touching, like foam

No mags over ten rounds. No threaded muzzles.
