A few questions...I've reviewed the McClure - Volkmer Rule about transportation of firearms in a vehicle, etc. My questions are related to rifles and carrying them in the trunk of a vehicle;
1. If the gun is in the trunk and not loaded and in a case...do the magazines have to be in a separate container or can a different compartment in the bag/case be used and still remain ok? Does it have to be a hard case?
2. Do I have a duty to inform in NC if the rifle is in a case, etc. in the trunk?
3. Does any of this change if i throw in a loaded or unloaded hangun in the bag? I do have a CCW and carry 90% of the time. During that 10% of the time, if i throw it in the bag does that change anything?
4. What other considerations should i make or what am i missing?
5. If you can point me to the written law or anything else for NC that would be most appreciated. I dont care about, "my friend told me once..."
Scenario for me is a get home bag with a rifle and some spare mags. Traveling only in NC and only at permitted locations.
