Penal Code 25610 – Conditions on Carrying Firearm in Motor Vehicle

California Penal Code 25610 PC allows you legally to transport a gun in a motor vehicle if you are an adult, 18 years of age or older, who resides in California and are not otherwise prohibited from having a gun. But the firearm must be unloaded and in the trunk or in a locked container.

In some situations, a violation of PC 25400 is a wobbler offense, meaning it can be charged as either a misdemeanor or a felony. If this happens, the offense could lead to a jail sentence of up to three years.
