c) Locked case with pistol and loaded mags is okay as long as none are in the gun.
d) Loaded gun is okay in your “castle”. Most likely be okay at a campsite in your parked camper, though not driving in it. If you’re visiting friends and on their private property your okay. Just don’t be in public with a loaded gun.
Have a good trip.
Ok, I have my normal pelican pistol case and locks so I am good there. I just need to find some silly 10 rounders. I may just take my Glock 43, I just really love my 229
I appreciate you guys taking the time to answer my questions. I have visited those sites again and feel much better about the trip.

slosigWhat caliber P229? I have 10 round 40/357 .Sig mags and 10 round 9mm mags for the P228/P229 9mm. If either of those are what you need, drop me an email with an address and I’ll send you a couple. Just send them back when you’re back home.
ETA, I have used the P228/P229 9mm mags for thousands of rounds in my P229R that started life as a .40 with a 9mm upper with no functional problems ever, but the mags can shift side to side a little, making a light noise.

How much Ammo can be brought into the state? ---- is there a limit?

weiser09Your gun doesn't need to be on the approved list. The list is only an issue for residents purchasing from a dealer.

I may wind up doing that. I find this whole process irritating.

When I go through customs in other countries, I don't declare my personally owned items like a watch, that I plan to bring back with me when I leave. For the purposes of crossing int'l. borders, importation means things you bring in and don't take back home with you.
Merriam-Webster defines "import" as

to bring from a foreign or external source

Russ59If you're driving through Reno and I-80 and pass through Sacramento, I'll meet you at the Chick F Lay and you can borrow my 10 round mags. I have a P229.

Nice thing too is that the empty shells stay in the pistol

Thanks, we are going the southern route and will spend a few days at the Grand Canyon, then on over to LA.
