I linked the extent of the bill (minimal) in the first post.

From your background do they produce guidance on how enforcement should interpret such vague language?

Yes, the DA's office will put on a legal updates seminar every year, sometimes twice if they are seeing issues.

*I think* the reality will be nobody will care where your gun is UNTIL your vehicle is stolen.

Interesting to hear what comes of this. Zip ties on zipper pulls isn’t hard too comply with. TSA requirements level cases and lock requirements is another matter of annoying.

It was in a locked case as best as I can remember, is their proof otherwise? ;)

I’m just waiting for the gun owner of the stolen vehicle to get into more trouble than the thief. Wouldn’t surprise me the way this crap is going.

Really seems like by the time someone steals the car, they can go and take the couple minutes (at most) it takes to open any “lockable” gun case with basic tools at their leisure. Sounds really effective. I frequently put mine in soft cases in the Decked drawers on my pickup, which lock. Wonder if that qualifies.

Great, so now I have to buy OHV stickers for all my trucks. And a bow case for my bow when I'm driving to my hunting spots. I should just send a bill for reimbursement to our state government for all the stupid stuff they make me spend money on. Just like time and gas for repeated trips back to the retailer to actually pick up the gun I bought 3+ days ago. Liberals never solve anything, they just create more problems, cost us more money, and add lots of frustration.

So how do you identify an OHV trail? If the sign shows only 4x4 vehicles, is that considered an OHV trail?

Just to add to the confusion. Since the law is very vague, it will be up to the DA and judges on how to interpret this. The metro area courts are very different than the rural courts. But then again, the Denver DA doesn’t really prosecute criminals with weapon charges.
Over all the law seems like one of California’s 1000 gun laws that are unenforceable.

They don’t prosecute actual criminals with weapons charges. TBD on how they go after previously law abiding citizens this is targeted towards to curtail legal gun ownership.
