Example: my 2013 2Dr Civic Si.
It has a lever by the driver rocker panel that pops the trunk,
but the lever can be locked by the ignition key.
And the rear seats fold down, exposing a portal into the trunk,
but the seat latch releases are only accessible from the trunk -
not the passenger compartment.
This is a change from my 2003 3Dr Civic Si -
Its hatchback lever wasn't lockable,
and the rear seat latches were accessible
from the passenger compartment.
I think it is so owners can lock the trunk
in a way that doesn't allow the valet key to unlock it.

Len, your
fire chief told you that ammunition/components stored in a tractor shed still counts towards the CMR's "per-structure" limit, because the shed is "the same structure" as your house, even though (for all any of us knows), the shed might be ¼ mile away from the house.
So what makes you think that a car isn't "a structure" for fire code ammo storage regulations?

Real operating operators who have to park on school grounds in Masschusetts while carrying:
- Park.
- Pirouette to the trunk while concealed carrying.
- Pop the trunk.
- Dump the mag.
- Ostentatiously point the piece up into the sky while racking the slide several times to clear the pipe.
- Place everything in the trunk's lock box(es).
- Proceed unarmed into the school, sure that they have obeyed the law.
- Are shocked, shocked to discover a SWAT team waiting for them at their car when they return. (Because they carried from the driver's seat to the trunk, and someone spotted all of the brandishing).

If you acquiesce to a fishing expedition during a traffic stop because you have nothing to hide, I hope you enjoy the ride.
