I did a search before submitting this, but didn't find anything specific to my question, so hopefully I'm not forcing folks to repeat themselves.
I know I can keep my handgun locked in the trunk of my car (or in a locked case/container in the car) as long as it's unloaded. What must I do with the ammunition to stay within the law? Can I lock it up in a separate section of the car (gun in trunk, ammo in locked case in cabin)? I couldn't find anything specifying what to do with the ammo. I thought that it had to be out of the car completely if the gun was locked in the trunk, but now I'm not sure. Any clarification would be much appreciated.
I've been carrying the mags in my mag pouch on my belt (concealed) while in the office and then get the Glock out of the trunk when I got in to my car. My coworkers know I carry and one of my two bosses appears to be actively seeking ways to stop me from doing so (the other boss doesn't like it either, but he's not actively trying to stop me anymore...not since he called HR to get familiar with the rules. These are the same guys, plus one other, who are certain I'm going to come in and shoot the place up because I got licensed. No amount of reasoning has assuaged their fears). He was in my office the other day talking to me about my handgun and asking me why I felt I had to carry it, and why I couldn't just leave it at home. Today, he walks in with a new amendment to the employee handbook where "dangerous items" now includes ammunition in its definition. I think he's hoping that if I have to leave both the ammunition and the handgun in the car, I won't be able to carry at all. I want to find a workaround so that I can still carry without breaking either the law or company policy.
Did I mention this boss is an extremely liberal French Canadian? hehe
