Legality of disassembled firearm in vehicle

[kaligaran]

So I'm aware of the proper methods of transporting firearms in our state.

Do all of the same laws apply to guns that are disassembled? My guess is yes, but I wanted to confirm.

Specifically I'm wanting to get an AR-7 to put in my car kit.

I am pretty sure there is no requirement to lock up long guns anyway, so you should be fine. You might have some explaining to do if it ends up in the wrong hands though.

This.

But there's no real point to disassembling a firearm, legally, because it's still a firearm unless you disassemble with a chopsaw.

But disassembly could change something from a semiauto, centerfire rifle with too many evil features to parts and a lower receiver.

Thanks guys. This is in line with what I thought the response would be.

Just wanted to check to be sure.

It could - but that's a very technical point of law, and won't be very useful in a field contact.

What's the old saying - "The side of the road is not the place to argue points of law with a cop " or something to that effect.
