I live on the Ma/Nh boarder and I spend 90% of my time in NH so I plan on having a carry pistol on me. Obviously I can't leave my house with a CW because my town will not issue an ALP license. So I figure I can just keep my pistol locked up till I'm over the boarder like I were going to a range. BTW this is with a non resident NH permit so carrying in a vehicle is okay. This is what I was planning on buying for a few reasons.
First it's cheap. 30 bucks I can buy two (car/bike)
Second it has the cable to secure it, although in my car I wouldn't mind the sentry safe but thats 3 times the price
Third it's pretty small so thats good for my saddle bag on the bike. Unfortunately I won't be able to use the cable on my bike but I have locking hard saddle bags so I would feel pretty good that it's not going anywhere. (two locked cases)
My question/s is, is this case good enough for MA laws? I can't see why it wouldn't be, heck my pistol carry case for the range is probably easier to break into.
Also would it be wrong to have this mounted inside my car as apposed to my trunk? I will say that the trunk is the best spot for it (if I had to argue the point to authorities) but as for ease of use it would be better for me to have it in the cab (since the reason is I can't carry in MA I can lock it up before I cross into MA) I have read MA laws trying to find something saying in cab is not legal but I have found nothing. All I have found is that the gun must be in a locked container. I have to pull over on the bike to strap up my helmet (thanks again Mass!!!!) and I have plenty of discreet places to transfer a pistol into a lock box in my saddle bag but I don't wanna pull my car over every time I'm almost in MA. When in MA I would have the pistol locked in the box with Mag out and to further the frustration I would also empty the mag cause I can't find anything about a loaded mag being legal/illegal while it is locked in a proper case.
Anyone who knows the laws, I thank you in advance.
