Quick question and might be silly, but I've just purchased my first lever action rifle which I'm going to be taking up north tomorrow.

How am I supposed to transport it? I've look at the firearms program website and it seems that just unloaded and in a case seems correct, but should I be locking it in someway?

Obviously a trigger lock won't work and a cable lock will leave the lever hanging loose which I don't like.

How do you guys transport them?
 
I am assuming you are driving.

If so.

Then it's this way


UNLOADED

Anything else is beyond the legal requirement.

If you must(and you certainly don't have to), put a ty-rap(zip-ty) through the lever and around the wrist of the stock.

Using another persons transportation especially if a fee to utilize the transportation is paid, would then cause you to have to jump through that person or organizations hoops, and rules.
 
Unloaded is really all that is required, but if you have a case use that for protection. If you have to leave it in a vehicle for a little while and it is a car put it in the trunk. If say it has no trunk or is a truck it should be covered with a blanket or something. Trigger locks are not required for non restricted guns.
 
Any non-restricted firearm can be transported in your vehicle with you as long as it is unloaded. It can be on the seat next to you or wherever. If you are out of the vehicle, paying for gas or grabbing aburger etc, the vehicle needs to be locked and the rifle out of sight. That is all the law requires for non-restricted firearms.
