Transporting

[IsaacGlass]

i figured it out...i can wrap my gun lock cord around my case handle making it not open wide enough for someone to take the gun out of the case without unlocking it. so i should be ok there

Why not just buy a normal pad lock? Did you spent too money on your gun and cannot afford to buy a $5.00 pad lock?

Where you get into trouble is if you transport the gun in the trunk, once you open the trunk and the gun is out in the open, then you may have problem with the second portion of the transport laws of moving a gun from the trunk to the next place it will be. Best to keep it in a locked case in the trunk so you can legally move it from car to house, etc. This is in a nutshell, of course, as there are situation to situation exceptions, etc.

Wrong. All that a cop has to do is be able to touch the gun and you are boned.

It doesn't make sense but that is how the law has been decided.

Hmmm I'll do if that's the case with a padlock once I get one that's the specific size.

You should post this in the LEOs section and see what they say

Didn't know we had a Leo area till jusy now I'll remake it or see if any mods can move it? Since I'm in my phone.

In your OP you mentioned "ammo in the glove box".

There is no requirement to keep the ammunition seperate from the gun.

You can carry the unloaded gun, the ammo, and full magazines all in the same secure locked container without violating any law.

You can even have that locked container sitting on your lap while driving, if you so choose.

The key is, no ammo in the gun, and the case must be locked.

Yeah, about that...

Are you talking about a handgun or a long gun?

Long guns don't need to be transported in a locked container and ammo may be transported in the same bag/case/container as the firearm.

i found a couple cases but they are really cheap ones in town. maybe ill look online...the ones i see in the store looks like they can be opened up slightly even with a padlock.

this is how mine looks with the red cable...slightly openable but gun cant be takened out.


im going take my care to a store and have a lock matched up perfectly tomorrow
