Honestly I would prefer to conceal carry, unfortunately legally I can't. I m am aware of the laws concerning open carry (I' have read them many times)....I m still a little confused, however about transporting the firearm in my vehicle. I m pretty sure I can transport it as long as it is unloaded and in the trunk which is ironic because if I driving down the highway and some crazy person decides to pick me out and randomly shoot at me and my family, I have no defense except police and who knows how long it will take them to show up. Does anyone know the laws for transporting a handgun for sure?
