This is outrageous. These folks who are attacking this man are are poster children for "Enemies, Foreign".

This is the same in NJ - if you stop anywhere on the way to or from the range they can arrest you because the way they interpet the permit.

This is a warning that the ranges and clubs give new members from what I understand.

The city of Denver used to be somewhat like this before preemption. They didn't arrest you for stopping, but they would call the range you said you were going to and make sure you actually showed up. If you didn't, they'd specifically come looking for you.

Thanks to our last Republican Legislature for pre-emption!

Sadly, I would not be shocked.

Wouldn't the Federal Firearms Owners Protection Act of 1986 provide protection to Mr. Dominguez? Specifically:

http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/18/usc_sec_18_00000926---A000-.html

§ 926A. Interstate transportation of firearms

Notwithstanding any other provision of any law or any rule or regulation of a State or any political subdivision thereof, any person who is not otherwise prohibited by this chapter from transporting, shipping, or receiving a firearm shall be entitled to transport a firearm for any lawful purpose from any place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm to any other place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm if, during such transportation the firearm is unloaded, and neither the firearm nor any ammunition being transported is readily accessible or is directly accessible from the passenger compartment of such transporting vehicle: Provided, That in the case of a vehicle without a compartment separate from the driver’s compartment the firearm or ammunition shall be contained in a locked container other than the glove compartment or console.

(Emphasis added). Note that by its language, this protection ("from any place") is not restricted to interstate transportation.

nope, it has been repeatedly ruled that FOPA does not apply unless you are crossing state lines

This case makes me more pessimistic about America's future. As an entrepreneur, an employer, a family-man, etc, Phillip Dominguez is the sort of man who helped make this country great. And our public servants are attacking he and his family, taking his property and threatening his liberty. I can't believe the media is mocking him and not criticizing the public servants tormenting him. He even jumped through all of their unconstitutional (and irrational) laws!

The LEO's and politicians attacking him define 'Enemies.... domestic'.

I wish Mr. D the best, hope he wins his case. I couldn't blame him if, after all this mess is eventually over he does the next sensible thing and moves to Texas, or Montana, or Alaska....but on the other hand, only people like Mr. D will be able to change California from within.

How exactly did they find out he had it?

Do they do car searches up there?

It was a "random checkpoint" at the airport of questionable legality. However, who'd question the legality of it. The same DA who jumped at Phil Dominguez's case?
