No such critter

Seems that in California's efforts to screw with the second amendment by forcing folks to buy a trigger lock or own a safe; they forgot to approve a trigger lock for lever action firearms. So, if you ain't got a safe, don't bother looking at that Marlin 1895G. Ain't that some crap?

    You could get the locks with the long hasp maybe? and lock the lever to the stock, by going through the lever and around the stock, might work? Disable the lever from being able to cock, and you cant load it. Thats why I was thinking the bicycle type lock, with the long hasp, follow?

    But if there's a round in the chamber what good is the lock? Pull back hammer, aim, squeeze trigger, BOOM.

    It wasnt my intention to have it loaded ya goof!! If it was loaded I wouldnt have it locked anyway, what good is a locked loaded gun. I was just trying to figure a way you could keep it without a safe. Idiots makeing laws!! I'm probably going to Cali. soon, too, geez!!

    Sorry, that type of lock is not approved in this state if you want to take your gun home.

    when i got my 1895G 2 years back marlin included a cable gun luck. i was intended for the full size 1895 so it's a bit long, however it works. essentially it's just a long cable with a stop at one end that you slide down the barrel and out the ejection port and lock it. pretty flimsy getup, you could cut the cable with a leatherman, but it works if all you need to do is "check the box".

    That's the problem. Most included locks are not "california approved." I can't understand why but if it don't go on the trigger and have the "california blessing", you can't carry your gun home. Not one single cable lock is approved for a rifle. Glad I got my 336CS and 1895G in AL.

    Well this isn't California approved either because it isn't NY approved. For years I've locked my lever guns with a pair of handcuffs. Works wonders when keeping the spare gun in the truck during hunting season, I lock the other end to the seat frame or brake pedal.WOODS

    This B.S. law is now something I have to look forward to? Who approves and defines triggerlocks, is it state legislatures? I'm not being a smartass, just wondering, because it's probably coming here, although I don't know how you could pass a law on lever actions in WI or MI. Might as well reinstate prohibition!Generally, I lock my lever actions by unloading them and putting them away.During hunting season, while in camp, I leave the action open. If I'm only inside for a short time, they are on the rack with the chamber shell and following one removed, action open. Saves beating up on the bullets. Nobody touches another guy's gun without asking. Now I'm going to have to "triggerlock" it? Come and get me, ATF. When I'm on my property, I'll handle my weapons according to MY rules. Sheesh!
