I live in RI and will be going to my Brother-in-law's vacation place in Canterburry, NH for a weekend. I live on the RI \ Mass border and often drive through Mass to get to my RI range. I should be covered by FOPA. I keep the pistol unloaded and the pistol and Amo locked in different compartments of my range bag in the back of my Jeep.
I am mixing questions that apply to federal and state laws.
1. If I go in a pickup truck can the bag be in the cab?
2. In Mass do the gun laws apply to pellet guns? Can I transport I pellet gun through mass unlocked in the vehicle or does it need to be locked in a case.
I found this entry on Safe passage.
One of the law's provisions was that persons traveling from one place to another cannot be incarcerated for a firearms offense in a state that has strict gun control laws if the traveler is just passing through (short stops for food and gas) and the firearms and ammunition are not immediately accessible, unloaded and, in the case of a vehicle without a compartment separate from the driver’s
compartment, in a locked container. [7]
