Transporting Your Firearm

I often have people ask how to properly transport their firearm from their house to the range. I have seen people bring their firearm in wrapped in a towel or in a plastic bag. When transporting your firearm to the range always make sure that the firearm is unloaded and stored in a locked container. The term "locked container" means a secure container which is fully enclosed and locked by a padlock, key lock, combination lock, or similar locking device. This includes the trunk of a motor vehicle, but does not include the utility or glove compartment. Also make sure to store your ammo in a container separate from your firearm.
