I apologize if this has been asked before, but I've searched the forum and haven't found a clear answer.
1) I know that if I leave a handgun in my car, it must be in a securely locked container, and I know that container may not contain ammunition. Does the ammunition have to be in a separate LOCKED container, or can the separate container be unlocked? Or can the ammunition be pretty much anywhere in the vehicle?
2) Is it necessary to store ammunition in the home in a locked container, or can it be in a drawer, cabinet, etc which is unlocked? For handguns that are stored in a safe, can this safe also contain ammunition?
I thought I knew the answers to these questions, but I was speaking to another gun owner recently who made me second-guess my understanding of these laws. I'm just looking for clarification. Thanks!
