^ That's the one, F.U. It was just voted on by the L.A. City Council and approved.

Handguns kept in Los Angeles residences must be locked up or disabled with a trigger lock when not within reach under a city law approved Tuesday by the City Council.
The law, which goes further than state regulations for gun storage, is aimed at curbing suicides and accidental shootings, said Los Angeles Councilman Paul Krekorian, who pushed for the ordinance.
The law will also keep guns safe during burglaries, said Krekorian, noting handguns are frequently swiped “because they’re so easy to get out onto the black market.”
California cities Sunnyvale and San Francisco have similar safe storage laws, said Allison Anderman, staff attorney with the San Francisco-based Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence.
Massachusetts also requires safe storage, as do several cities and one county in New York state.
Safe storage laws aid in stopping “access to firearms by children in the home,” Anderman said, “which can prevent suicides, unintentional shootings or disturbed kids getting their parents’ guns and using them to harm others, like the Sandy Hook shooting.”
