Thread: Firearms in Vehicles

Consider how a Judge would view the case of firearms in a vehicle if it was brought before them.
If the owner had taken all practical steps to stow their firearms in a way that meant they could not be removed easily from the vehicle and misused and had stowed their firearms in the same manner as the Police themselves do in vehicles I think the case would be dismissed.
That means a lock box, a cable lock through the action, chamber flag and ideally disabled firearm with bolt removed. Not hard to make a carpet lined lockbox from 20mm ply.
I carry firearms in a vehicle with a cable lock, chamber flag and bolt removed. What happens if there is a Police checkpoint for a nut job with a firearm or I am involved in an accident and Police have to clear the scene ?
