Is this a legal way to transport in a vehicle?

Is this a legal way to carry an unloaded pistol with a magazine that is loaded in a vehicle? The pistol is in a locked container and the magazine is in a separate locked container.

I have been told by some it is legal and by others it is not legal. I know that if the pistol only is in the locked container it is legal, but does the loaded magazine make it illegal even though they are in two separate containers with the same lock and/or lid?

were did you purchase the magazine holder?

i got it from Ageis Safes, but Titan Vaults now sells them. Contact Titan Vaults and ask Matt the Owner for one. If they are not out now, they will be shortly.

Not again... my goodness people... USE THE SEARCH.


Listen: Loaded carry and concealed carry are two different sections and have nothing to do with each other.

Here is the law paraphrased:

A) It is illegal to carry loaded in a vehicle.
A loaded weapon is when unexpended ammunition is in a magazine and that magazine is inserted into the weapon OR when an unexpended round is in the chamber. EVERY OTHER SCENARIO IS UNLOADED AND LEGAL.

B) It is illegal to carry a concealed weapon
A weapon is concealed when it is either fully, or partially concealed.

There is an exception to the concealed carry law that states IF you have your gun in a locked case, it can be carried concealed. IT IS NOT A REQUIREMENT, only an exemption to concealed carry.

So, you can carry your Glock on the seat next to you with a fully-loaded magazine duct taped to the gun and it is perfectly legal.

In addition... if you are licensed and are on your way to hunt or fish, you can carry concealed without a CCW thanks to PC12027(g).

One more thing:

Any private citizen may arrest another person for any misdemeanor or felony crime committed in his presence.

Any private citizen may possess a loaded weapon while performing a lawful arrest.

This means if you are carrying your Glock in a holster and whitness a crime, you may load that weapon shortly before effecting an arrest of the offending party. This includes crimes against the arrestee.

In short, if someone threatens you in person, attacks someone else, or breaks any other minor law in your presence you can load your weapon and re-holster it as you are effecting an arrest on the perpetrator.

This is the same as a police officer. For misdemeanor offenses, a police officer must witness the action in order to arrest. (with few exception).


Know your rights and refuse to be a victim!!

Also long guns are non-concealable guns from the laws point of view so you could conceal a unloaded long gun without the locking requirement(except the k-12 school zone still require a locked container)

Well, I limited the scope to the lock box above... long guns wont fit in it.
