transporting long guns

[golfish]

I just read or maybe misread on a web site (80% arms) that all long guns have to be transported in a locked container as of Jan 1 2013..Is this correct?

So they have to be in a locked container or in a case specifically made for guns?

I miss those days when I could just throw a shot gun or rifle in the gun rack and go where I pleased.

... IF in an incorporated area AND IF outside a vehicle, yes.

I understood the link wrong.

It seems like you can have the gun in your car however you want, but you cant take it out of the car or bring it to the car unless it is in a locked case or a case designed specifically for a gun. hope someone can clear this up, i was also under the impression that long guns now had to be locked.

cool, thanks. I also saw the part about the "trunk gun", if you have a handgun in your trunk, covered with a towel or in an unlocked bag and you go to costco and start filling your trunk with the stuff you bought, while youre filling the trunk, do you have an illegally concealed gun?

handguns must be in a locked trunk or locked container so if you opened your trunk while in public with out it being in a locked container you would be breaking that law

... which is why having a distinct separate locking case for handguns makes things simpler all around.

yea but that defeats the purpose of a trunk gun then right?? you gotta unlock the trunk and then the case
