A 49-year-old Las Vegas man was arrested near former President Donald Trump’s rally in Coachella on Saturday with a loaded firearm and a high-capacity magazine, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department said Sunday.
Deputies assigned to the rally contacted the driver of a black SUV at a checkpoint near the intersection of Avenue 52 and Celebration Drive just before 5 p.m. Saturday, sheriff’s officials said.
They allegedly found the driver in possession of a shotgun, a loaded handgun and a high-capacity magazine. The driver was identified as Vem Miller, and was taken into custody and later booked at the John J. Benoit Detention Center on suspicion of possessing a loaded firearm and possessing a high-capacity magazine.
I know in California it is. Any magazine that holds more than 10 rounds is considered “high capacity” and is illegal.
Not sure on the loaded firearm bit… California gun laws are crazy restrictive.

I’m by no means a gun nut, but I do own & carry firearms and California’s laws have always seemed crazy to me.
I need to look up the rules on knives… Can I open carry a sword? Perhaps a spiked cudgel? Ooh! Polearm!?
Kidding, slightly…

That’s because of the risk of cancer. It’s taken very seriously.
I think about moving there some times but man too much stuff causes cancer in that state. It’s crazy.
