We have a new article out today and it's about one of our most popular topics, guns in trucks:

Truckers And Guns: What Is And Is Not Legal

We've spoken with the The Rosenblum Law Firm and we let them know that this is a question we get all the time. Adam H. Rosenblum, Esq. who is the principal of the law firm, wrote this article letting us know about some of the complexities involved.

So I read the article and I'm curious about the storage of guns and ammo needing to be separated and in different containers. I know there are some specific scenarios that require such standards with the TSA (airports maybe) and some local or state regulations on assult weapons like in California requires you to have the ammunition in a separate container[no deviation from route, no stopping for ice cream nothing except for fuel/water] but nothing and I mean nothing can I find on the law books tells me there are such restrictions on handguns. (Maybe some of the far left states like NY, Massachusetts or whatever may have some hidden law about this but still I couldn't find it)

For example some states law concider a gun being loaded only when there is a round in the chamber, others if there is ammunition affixed to any portion of the firearm (sling or butt stock with ammo attached in any way or a loaded magazine/clip that is in the mag well.) No where do I see any law that says you must store the ammo separately. I do know there are laws that prohibit ammunition from being accessible from the driver, and even carrying a loaded magazine in your pocket in states like California can make a traffic stop into a nightmare. Anyways I can't find such restrictions. Now If I was to keep a gun in my truck in say California w/o a ccw/ccp I'd prefer my gun to be locked and unloaded with the magazines detached from the gun and in the same container out of reach under the bunk or whatever. Good luck and remember it's nobody's business but your own and the heavenly father.
