Basic California Transportation Laws
From the DOJ Website (2016 Summary)

Handguns California Penal Code section 25400 does not prohibit a citizen of the United States over 18 years of age who is in lawful possession of a handgun, and who resides or is temporarily in California, from transporting the handgun by motor vehicle provided it is unloaded and stored in a locked container . (Pen . Code, § 25610 .) The term "locked container" means a secure container which 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 . (Pen . Code, § 16850 .)

Rifles and Shotguns Nonconcealable firearms (rifles and shotguns) are not generally covered within the provisions of California Penal Code section 25400 and therefore are not required to be transported in a locked container . However, as with any firearm, nonconcealable firearms must be unloaded while they are being transported . A rifle or shotgun that is defined as an assault weapon pursuant to Penal Code section 30510 or 30515 must be transported in accordance with Penal Code section 25610 .
 
Registered Assault Weapons and .50 BMG Rifles Registered assault weapons and registered  .50 BMG rifles may be transported only between specified locations and must be unloaded and in a locked container when transported . (Pen. Code, § 30945, subd . (g) .)

For all of the above - The term "locked container" means a secure container which 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 . (Pen . Code, § 16850) .

A firearm is deemed loaded when there is a live cartridge or shell in, or attached in any manner to, the firearm, including, but not limited to, the firing chamber, magazine, or clip thereof attached to the firearm . A muzzle-loading firearm is deemed loaded when it is capped or primed and has a powder charge and ball or shot in the barrel or cylinder . (Pen . Code, § 16840 .)

From the CHP Website:
Handgun transportation: If you wish to transport a handgun during your California visit, it should be carried unloaded in a locked container. In the absence of a suitable container, you may secure the unloaded handgun in the locked trunk of a passenger car. Ammunition may be kept in the same container or trunk, but the handgun must remain unloaded with no rounds in the cylinder and no loaded magazines in the magazine well

From Hammer Stryke:
Generally – when in any public place, or public road, your firearm should be unloaded in a locked container or in your car's trunk. This is the wisest and safest method of carry and compliance with the various laws. (with a CCW permit and only with your CCW handguns, carry them however you want).
This also allows compliance for transporting a firearm with in a school zone, such as when you are driving past or in the area of a school. If you live within a 1000feet of a school zone then your residence or business is exempt, but you should lock up your firearms.

School Zone means an area in, or on the grounds of, a public or private school providing instruction in kindergarten or grades 1 to 12, public or private college or university, or within a distance of 1,000 feet from the grounds of the public or private school, college or university. (Note: realize that the 1000 foot rule is a straight line).
