Rifle Transportation Question

[wurger]

I'm getting back into shooting after a 20 year break. Back in the "good ole days" I could throw my AR-15 and HK-91 in the trunk with no worries. Now, I hear a few too many bad arrest stories with legal AR style rifles.

So, to my question. I have a Daniel Defense M4V4 with a Bullet Button, and a Tactical Solutions 22 LR upper. If I transport the DD lower with the 22 LR upper attached, are all of the "evil features" irrelevant, even though I have .556 upper in the trunk also?

If you have a .22 upper on, features are irrelevant.

If you have a bullet button on the lower, features are irrelevant no matter which upper you have on.

Duct tape it to the hood.

California does not have long gun transport regs (other than it must be unloaded), but the Fed does. Transport through a gun free school zone (1000') must be in a locked case (handguns and long guns) according to Fed law.

Ammo can be transported in any manner you think is safe for you...other than inside the gun. Same case, same area, same vehicle, doesn't matter.
