Handgun in a box in the trunk of your car. Ammo separate from gun. Don't load the handgun and then put it in the box.

And "not readily accessible" is open for a wide range of interpretation so the best advice would be to transport it in the trunk of your vehicle.

In short: Just make sure it's transported in a fashion that if you were in a situation where you needed to use it, you'd be dead before you could...

Rent a car with a trunk until your LTCH comes back!
Add purple as needed.

I think if you could at least lock the firearm in the glovebox or console of a truck you would be ok (as long as the ammo isn't with it.)

Unfortunately, this is exactly what they want.

I guess you could field strip the gun and place parts in different areas of your truck. As much as I think it's ridiculous there'd be no question about it not being readily available.

 

[jgreiner]

get a hard side case. Unload the gun, lock it in a case, put it in the back out of reach. Separate ammo. Magazines unloaded.

As long as he doesn't forget where he put all the parts.

Are you wanting to carry it everyday or just to the range and then back home?
