O/T Firearms 101: Have some questions on laws-

Might have a solution for you. I've traveled all over this country and never had a bit of problems, other than truthfully answering relevant questions. Here's how I do it:
Firearm is legally registered to me.
Firearm is unloaded with a trigger lock in a locked pistol case.
Ammo is locked in the glove compartment, firearm is locked in the cargo compartment.
When questioned by authorities, readily admit presence and location of above items.
Lots of difference between a weapon in transit and a concealed weapon, and once you're in your room for the night, you're home.
