restricted transport

Pistols and other restricted are trigger locked and locked in a hard case, ammo is locked in an ammo can. However, I agree that the regs do not specifically state ammo be locked during transport nor do they mention anything about soft but locked cases. However, not worth the hassle to fight about it with potentially uninformed RCMP.

For transport of restricted handguns and ammunition to/from the range I have always kept both separate during transport:

• Handguns unloaded and trigger locked inside a hard shelled, locked pistol case
• Ammunition inside a separate hard shelled, locked ammo can
• Both carried inside a fabric sports bag with all the other range items in external pockets

What’s permissible? How do you transport?

Ammo in my range bag in the back seat ( incase I get pulled over ) Pistols are unloaded, trigger locked, In a locked case in the trunk.

Why in case you get pulled over? What difference would it make? Better keep your cell phone in the back seat or trunk as well.....in case you get pulled over

Because I have in the past. Been pulled over coming out from the range. I was younger, drove a modified car. I found it much easier for me since I studder, and mix up my words that I have the range bag in the back to see to pull out my membership/att etc that all contained in a black book.

Sorry if I do something that helps me, but doesn't agree with you.

Does tying a knot in the bag it in considering locking up?

to anyone with a working brain including a police officer the answer would be a firm no

but that doesn't change the fact you dont need to lock it up at all, i agree having it in a container even if it isn't locked will just help you out should you get stopped
but you shouldn't feel so threatened by a police officer doing his job (shady looking kid driving a shady looking vehicle leaving a gun range?) i actually feel good knowing that they
are out doing the job they should be, your still here shooting guns and posting right? you have nothing to worry about man.

Soo much wrong here. Might want to work on your skills talking to other people. The bag was a joke. Normally if I buy ammo I don't have my firearms with me.

Being discrete as much as possible is what I'll add. I believe in going above what is required and not to challenge it with boarder-line practices/interpretations.
I've spent too much time and effort getting my license(s)…I enjoy the sport and plan on doing it for years to come. YMMV

And going out with a bunch of locked ammon cases and big ass locked cases is more discrete then........



Me neighbors used to think I was a photographer until then saw me with 2 large pelican cases
 
I put my ammo in a military ammo metal box, I ´ve drilled a hole to lock it with a trigger lock, simple & easy to do.
 
I use soft cases too. If you believe that "•Lock the firearms in a sturdy, non-transparent container" means anything more and that a soft case doesn't apply I would say it's harder to cut into the woven material than it is to break a hinge off of a piece of plastic by throwing it to the ground.

Mines more discrete, complete with tools on the outside and my pistol case is a metal tool box. I'm just a mechanic.

I don`t see why locking up your ammo while transporting would be common sense. What possible incident are you trying to prevent ? The law does n `t require it to be locked. My pistols are in a locked container and trigger locked and I have a brick of ammo in my range bag.
