Question about transporting long guns

[Flogger23m]

I have some questions about transporting long guns:

1) When I am carrying a long gun, it needs to be in a rifle bag, right? Does it also need a lock on it when in the bag?

2) Does the long gun in the bag need to be unloaded? Does having a mag filled with bullets but separate from the gun count as loaded?

3) When transporting a long gun that I am taking home from a gun store, and my car is parked right in front of the store (as in 5 or so feet away from the entrance of the store), can I carry the rifle with no bag (meaning it is exposed) and put it into the trunk of my car? Or would I need a rifle bag to even do that?

4) Apply the same scenario to one, but being at a shooting range instead of a gun store.

5) When my rifle is in the trunk of my car, how must it be stored? In a rifle bag?

6) For an off list AK style rifle, can someone recommended me a cheap bag that works?


Sorry, I tried searching and I did not find very clear results.

4) Yes. No.
5) Unloaded. No.
6) dufflebag

In regards to transporting, the only requirement for long guns (except for assault weapons and NFA firearms) is that they be unloaded.
