so how do you transport your firearms/gear to and from the range?

[Tip]

Rifle: fully assembled in zipper cases.
Handguns: in zippered cases in range bag.
Mags: some loaded some not in separate zippered compartment of range bag (handguns) or separate zippered case (rifle).

Standard tactical case, mags out, breach open, trigger lock. Ammo in a separate container.

ARIK,Prof Fate, JRader: I would suggest you check your CCW laws because some states will allow you to carry your "handgun" Cocked & Locked but prohibit carrying rifles/shotguns loaded. I lived in Pa many years ago and carried my rifles/shotguns in my " easy rider rifle rack" without problems. In Mi it is legal to carry your handgun(s) but long guns must be in a "covering" , unloaded and not within easy access even with CCW. I do 95% of my shooting on my range on my property. But depending on the day and equipment I load the back of the Yukon/Tahoe and fill it with gear so I do not have to carry, bags, ammo,firearms,etc. Be Safe,

I have a CCW permit. I can just "haul" them any way I want. Open carry is legal here too,but not "pushed" by many.

The long guns I have in a hard case behind the seat with the fully loaded mags in a bag with my targets in the front and my loaded Pistol on the front passenger seat. In NC it doesnt make a difference whether or not you are loaded the pistol cant be concealed even in a locked case without a CCW. OC it has to be on the dash or passenger seat and on you visible at all times.

Hard and soft cases for the long guns. I have an extended cab pickup so they either go in the bed or on the rear cab seat.

Even with a LTCF , here in PA , you cannot have a loaded rifle or shotgun in a motor vehicle. And the State Police have ruled and courts have agreed that loaded magazines in the side pockets of an 'assualt rifle case' with the rifle in the main compartment equates 'loaded'.
