Law interpretation question. by techi870 2005-03-10 11:37:41
Given the following information.

11. An individual may transport a restricted firearm only if

(a) it is unloaded;

(b) it is rendered inoperable by means of a secure locking device;

(c) it is in a locked container that is made of an opaque material and is of such strength, construction and nature that it cannot readily be broken open or into or accidentally opened during transportation; and

(d) if it is in a container described in paragraph (c) that is in an unattended vehicle,

(i) when the vehicle is equipped with a trunk or similar compartment that can be securely locked, the container is in that trunk or compartment and the trunk or compartment is securely locked, and

(ii) when the vehicle is not equipped with a trunk or similar compartment that can be securely locked, the vehicle, or the part of the vehicle that contains the container, is securely locked and the container is not visible from outside the vehicle.

Is the following legal?

-Take a handgun (restricted weapon) out of a gun safe and verify that it has a trigger lock on it.
-Take the same handgun out to your truck and lock it in the console.
-Drive to shooting range and use the handgun.
-Repeat for trip home.

Give reason why/why not.

Note:I have never actually done this and would not be able to do it with my current truck as the console doesn't lock.
