Thread: Vehicle transport catch-22

The reason safes in are a no go in vehicles is they are easily stolen and can be moved to another location for the safe to then be broken into at leisure. Why the police are allowed to leave firearms in vehicles unattended i don't know. But ill take a guess its something to do with the part of the law where police and military don't have to be licensed to possess a firearm.

As others have said go with a take down rifle, AR15 Ar10 etc. So then you can have it contained inside a normal backpack and take it where ever you want (except inside a courthouse or somewhere else that has metal detcors ) . If you have a long gun currently its either best to sell it or get someone to hold onto it until your trip ends.
A. how often does someones backpack get searched? and B. As long as you have No ammo with it and even if you go as far as to take only action part of the firearm with you. So if for some reason you do end up having some explaining to do to the police your story is a lot more reasonable. Another bonus of this way is if your backpack gets stolen etc thief does not have immediate access to a functioning firearm without obtaining more parts.

I tried to find where the arms regulation 1992 specified what leaving firearms in a vehicle unattended is as i have read it somewhere before but cant find it. Maybe it was a legal opinion or something but within eyesight of the vehicle is fine. eg Sitting outside a cafe/bar and your car is visible to you.
