One of the times I was there, the San Bernardino shooting happened, so having a gun with me (when/where I can) is a requirement from the wife!
I fly, so I check the gun. It stays in the Microvault until I get to the hotel room. It then immediately comes out and stays loaded, as CA law states that a hotel room is the same as a temporary domicile, at least when it comes to having a gun. During the day it then goes back into the Microvault (still loaded), locked, and then it usually gets cabled to something and put inside the room safe (which are very insecure, hence the cable). The day I check out, I unload it and put it back in the suitcase.
My first instinct, like a lot of others (besides "don't go!"), was to bring the cheapest gun I had that held the most ammo closest to 10. That was normally my 9mm XD-sc. On the other hand, the other part of me thought "Well, if I'm capped at 10 rounds, I want 10 of the hardest hitting rounds I can!". So I started bringing my 10mm or even my Five-seveN. My next CA traveling gun might be a Colt Delta Elite. 8 rounds of 10mm sounds pretty decent, and while it's a tad pricey, it's cheaper than losing my Sig P220 Hunter or my precious Five-seveN!
Yeah I'd being a cheap gun too. Thinking one of my Taurus or Rossi handguns.
