Hello Jack,
I live in CA-sate as well.
There is a gun pouch you can buy for $ 12.00 that comes with a small padlock attached to the end of the pouch zipper.
This is a legal locking device that you can bring in and use over and over when you take home a gun from a CA-state gun shop.
This locking type of gun pouch is listed on the CA-DOJ web site as approved locking device...
Here is a link to the CA-DOJ web site :

Funny, this pouch can easily be cut by a kid with his Mom's pair of scissors...the gun control folks in Sacramento seem to have missed this...
