State law generally does allow a CCW holder to take the specific firearm listed on his or her license to the above mentioned. places. Such authorization, however, does not apply to any other firearm unless specific permission is granted in advance. Also, a CCW may contain restrictions imposed by the issuing agency that would void the above statutory authorization. Check with the authorities having jurisdiction over the place in question before taking a firearm to a location where its presence, even if legal, could be a matter of sensitivity. Judges, for example, can ban CCW holders from possessing a firearm in their court room even though state law allows it. State law generally applies to federal buildings located within California, although the application may vary depending upon the type of building and its location. Federal law generally prohibits the possession of firearms in federal buildings. It is wise for CCW holders to make inquiries before taking a firearm onto federal property. |
