Transportation

How should a licensed hunter transport a handgun going to and from a hunting trip?

Answer

Unloaded, in the trunk or a locked container other than the utility or glove compartment

Licensed hunters and fishermen may transport handguns unloaded when going to or returning from the expedition. The unloaded firearms should be transported in the trunk of the vehicle or in a locked container other than the utility or glove compartment.
