Ok,
We have covered the trunk of the car, but I have a question about trucks... With the configuration of my truck, I have compartments under the seats. Where these compartments are located, and the mounting frame of the actual seats themselves make it so that with using 2 cable locks, I would be able to run the lock through the action in the normal way, then use the second lock to lock the actual gun to the frame of the seat and be completely out of site. The only way it would be seen is if someone were to actually lift up the seat to get to the storage compartment.
Now... If I am reading the other posts correctly, this would not be legal. Correct? Or would the gun secured in this fashion in the locked passenger compartment of my truck qualify? Or would I have to get some sort of locking case, and lock the gun inside the case?
My concern of course, is that it is much easier to break into the passenger compartment of a truck/car than it is to break into the trunk. So I not only want to be legal with securing the firearm, but if it needs to be in a container (or separate with the action locked open and then locked to the frame) I would also like that container to be locked to the seat frame as to make it more difficult to simply smash the window and take the entire case...
I know Len is away at his training, but can anyone else answer this one for me?
Thanks
Adam
