"Yes, but only if its unloaded, in a case (with a lock), and in your trunk."

Only Partially True,

In The State Of California It Is Legal To Transport An Unloaded Shotgun In Any Vehicle. In Or Out Of Sight.

No Lock, Or Case Is Required ( But Recommended For Your Safety, And Others. Assume When You Hop In To Get Gas Someone Steels Your Car )

Granted You:

Keep Ammo Separate, Gun Un-Loaded (Ammo In A Non-Firing Orientation, Not Referring To Loose Ammo In The Gun Bag.) (Butt Shell Holder Is Legal, But Prepare For Court Trials And Lawyers) It Is Just Less Hassle To Keep Ammo Separate.

You Are Over 18, And The Shotgun Is In Your Name Which You Legally Acquired.

You Have A Good Reason For Transporting It.

Example: Going To The Range, Hunting Trip, Gun Shop. Ect.
