First off, i'm 18. I recently purchased a Smith & Wesson 5906 and i'm very eager to take it to the range. I want to know if there are any laws for transporting it to/from. Do I need to have it in the back seat of my truck? Does it need to be unloaded while in my vehicle? If stopped by an LEO can my firearm be taken away. (I am new to firearms and a complete stranger to firearms laws) Thank You.
