Hi Everyone!
So let me start off by saying I'm new to all this and just want to do it right.
I've got a couple of scenarios, and you guys let me know what's ok to do. The point is I don't want to have to carry two separate bags if I don't have to.
Scenario 1:
Unloaded gun and empty mags in hard case locked, and ammo in hard case locked, but both in the same range bag in the trunk, as well as to and from car.
Scenario 2:
Unloaded Gun and loaded mags in hard case locked and more ammo in hard case locked, but both in same range in the trunk, as well as to and from car.
This is what I read on CA Gov website, so it sounds like both scenarios would be fine.

HANDGUNS
Pursuant to California Penal Code section 25610, a United States citizen over 18 years of age who is not prohibited from firearm possession, and who resides or is temporarily in California, may transport by motor vehicle any handgun provided it is unloaded and locked in the vehicle’s trunk or in a locked container. Furthermore, the handgun must be carried directly to or from any motor vehicle for any lawful purpose and, while being carried must be contained within a locked container.
Pursuant to California Penal Code section 16850, the term "locked container" means a secure container that is fully enclosed and locked by a padlock, key lock, combination lock, or similar locking device. This includes the trunk of a motor vehicle, but does not include the utility or glove compartment.
