I looked at those because they are fairly cheap. Problem with them is....they are not "approved" by the CA DOJ. They have to be on the list or it is like they don't exist.
All the trigger locks that are approved are the kind with the cable that goes through the "opened" magazine cover and up and out the top of the receiver. Making it impossible to load ammo and close the bolt. Real pain in the rump..right?

Good questions.....
No, you can't just lock the bolts away. That would be too logical.......... or even removing and replace the firing pin, Nope....won't do it.
To enforce it is two ways:
If someone is injured with an unsecured firearm (especially a child), you the owner go to jail....period, and they are looking to do that, so you have a big "risk factor" there.
If a firearm was stolen and it was not secured, people were not reporting them. If the firearm turned up later, the person would just say, I'm not obligated to report a stolen firearm in this state. Well, they changed that and if you don't report within 24 to 48 hours, you go to jail (felony) if the firearm turns up later and you failed to report it within that time period.
No one is coming into your home to check, they know they can't do that, but they have made it clear that if these other two are not followed, they will pursue charges. So, as an owner, you have to lock your firearm their way and with their "approved" devices or risk a potential nightmare.

No, they don't supply them. They are only about $10 each, but the way they go on is brutal to the firearm.
