I do very similarly. Guns are in a case. Magazines for guns that take them are either in the case with them or in my backpack, and all relevant ammo is in said backpack. Since I have a pickup, there's little to no separation between them. I remember reading somewhere once that in cars, the guns (or ammo) should be in the truck, and the ammo (or guns) should be in the front, essentially requiring you to stop the car, get out, and retrieve the necessary equipment prior to being able to shoot it.I usually have the gun in the a case with magazine unloaded and int he case but not in the rilfe all in the trunck. Ammo rides up in the front with me. I am pretty sure that is how the law stipulates or that is what i have been told.
As the saying goes, don't break more than one law at a time.I don't do anything that would result in me being pulled over.
Now I onow nothing about the rules in the communist burroughs of NYC but in the rest of the stae there is no such requirement. We are talking about long guns here. Now I do believe there may be requirements when traveling out of state but this is to the range. So i n reality you could stack them all together in the front seat with you. we do it all the time hunting when we don't want to place a wet gun in a case.I remember reading somewhere once that in cars, the guns (or ammo) should be in the truck, and the ammo (or guns) should be in the front, essentially requiring you to stop the car, get out, and retrieve the necessary equipment prior to being able to shoot it.
Too awesome....the officer walked up to my window instantly stepped back and drew his weapon screaming at me "why do you have a twelve gauge in the truck?" well I was shocked and said the first thing that came to mind...."it's a twenty gauge sir..."...
You can still do that... just not in NYDam! what happened to the good old days, my father back in the 70's had the loaded shotgun in the rack of his pickup. times have changed!
Looks like you are quoting NYS penal law. Definition of firearm there does not include long guns."Loaded firearm" means any firearm loaded with ammunition or any firearm which is possessed by one who, at the same time, possesses a quantity of ammunition which may be used to discharge such firearm.
