I spent a year and a half going to Harley school in North Phoenix in the mid-1980's. Folks would just leave them on the dash of their trucks/cars. Brought them in at night though...Saw it more than once out there. The California agents had to be talked down out of the nearest tree. They were easy to find, the urine trail led straight to them.
OK, it's official:Did I miss the call for "Go Time"?
Probably not on the dash..... but same ideaToss it on the dash
Unloaded in a locked container. In for the incoming comments
Honda Ridgelines are for lesbians.
Hey, my son-in-law owns a Honda Ridgeline!
I'd bet money that leaving ammo in the same container would be considered a "loaded" gun by somebody in this state.and leave the ammo in the same locked container ?
I can't think of the last time I went into a no carry zone. Post office? Bank? All online. School? All my kids are like 40. If'n there's a rifle onboard it's typically in a locked case whether it needs to be or not. As far as the Speedo thing your on your own. I'm tired of the chicks asking me if that's a 45 in my shorts.
There is no statute in Massachusetts law prohibiting a Massachusetts licensed holder from carrying a concealed handgun in a bank.
What can go wrong?

The adhesive isn't strong enough for that use. Either the mirror breaks off or even worse, cracks the windshield in the process.
Perfectly legal!and leave the ammo in the same locked container ?
Absolutelyand leave the ammo in the same locked container ?
Just don't use a trigger lock. (<- Which is not what you wrote).Again, just to be clear, if you are leaving your gun in a locked container in your PARKED car/truck it is storage and not transportation.
True, that.I think you are taking an unnecessary safety risk by unholstering and unloading your gun while sitting in your parked vehicle, particularly with a semi-auto handgun.
I've been in the local police departments around me plenty of times armed, sometimes not for anything particularly official either, couple of times carrying owb with just an open jacket over it, they never even asked about it lolBanks are NOT no carry zones. The Registry and Police stations are not, either, although to get into the inner sanctum regions of the latter you'll generally have to use a lock box.
Federal buildings (such as the Post Office) and Schools. Probably some state buildings like court houses or the Capitol. Beyond that, I'm unaware of any blanket bans.

That's what I call pull.... but entering the "secure" regions they've always asked if carrying and provide a lock box.
I mean in the "secure" locations lol not just the lobbyI have as well, but entering the "secure" regions they've always asked if carrying and provide a lock box.

Okay, old timers help me out.
Didn't it used to be, if not illegal, more than frowned upon for us not to store weapons in vehicles? I remember going to ranges in the early 90's when suddenly it was "OK" for us to stop for lunch after shooting because we could now lock our guns in the trunk. I don't know if it was a ruling, new, or finally recognized law. Any help?
Matt
maybe this is why my friend recalled it being a no-no.
I've been in a number of PDs and never asked to secure it. A couple of booking areas as a matter of fact. One time getting prints for FL renewal my gun gave a loud clank when it struck the officers's gun and he never said a word.I have as well, but entering the "secure" regions they've always asked if carrying and provide a lock box.

The law was unclear until the 1998 law was passed, so many did indeed believe that there was no legal way to leave an unloaded handgun in a MV unattended.Had a convo with a buddy Sunday morning about this very topic.. he's a good guy.. a gun guy, and a former cop (in the early 90s).
He said it was illegal to store a gun unattended in a car. Said it had to be under your direct control. Couldn't leave it in a car to run into anywhere.
I said it was legal to leave it in a locked minisafe in the passenger compartment or locked in the trunk. Locked glove box does not count.
however, we did both agree that was not very prudent to leave it there long..
this is Massachusetts.
I ended up finding the answered question on the Norwood PD LTC application that I forwarded to him.
That's what I call pull.
Most people get frisked before that point.
