I'm sorry if this should be posted in the legal section - however, I am a Noob and this is probably a Newbie question.

I just receive my PAL (hurray!) and ordered a 12 gauge.
If I have a shotgun hidden in my truck (Norinco HP-9 14"), is it o.k. if it just has a trigger lock, or does it need to be in a locked case? What if it is secured with one of those trigger-lock wall mount options (completely out of sight of course)? It doesn't vary from province to province I think... as I am between AB and BC a lot.

The only time I plan on carrying in the truck is when I go camping in "backcountry" areas. But what about when I stop for lunch somewhere and leave the gun in the truck? How about overnight, if I'm staying in a hotel?

What about when I'm riding my motorbike (off road or logging road, or on the highway heading to crown land)? Can I carry the gun in a backpack? I've seen so many black and grizzly bears over the last couple years of adventure touring, and I'm really starting to lose faith in my wimpy can of Bear Spray. So is my girlfriend.

I really need some reassurance on this. I bet you guys are getting tired of that...

Transporting Firearms Safely
Non-restricted firearms

Unload your firearms
Muzzleloaders can be kept loaded when being transported between hunting sites but the firing cap or flint must be removed.

Leaving Any Class of Firearm in an Unattended Vehicle

* Lock non-restricted firearms and locked containers carrying restricted or prohibited firearms in the trunk or in a similar lockable compartment.

* If the vehicle does not have a trunk or lockable compartment, put firearms and firearm containers out of sight inside the vehicle and lock the vehicle.

* If you are in a remote wilderness area and cannot lock your non-restricted firearms inside your vehicle, unload them and put them out of sight. Attach a secure locking device unless they are needed for predator control.
