Traveling with a hand gun.
I dont know the answer to this so I would ask opinions.
We are going on a road trip to Colorado from Minnesota. I wish to take a unloaded and cased hand gun in the rear of our van. Loaded magazines would be with in reach. Obviously this would be of no use for an immediate threat situation. But would at least give the opportunity for protection if a developing threat arises. Not my optimum choice, but I would rather not end up in the clink trying to defend our selves. Ideas? |

Thanks for the input.
Locking them separate would be possible. Not preferable, but doable. |

You certainly want to check the laws of the states you are passing through. You may not need to keep it unloaded.
Despite the recent goofy and useless laws that were passed, Colorado is pretty gun-friendly. No concealed reciprocity with Minnesota though, so carrying concealed will be out. |

You can always open carry in Colorado. Unless you go to denver. Denver does not allow open carry. Watch out for signs that say "no displaying of firearms" at some locations though.

Your car is also an extension of your house so you may conceal carry a loaded firearm in you car. However when you get out of your car it MUST be clearly visible.

Also, as you presented it, it is false even in Colorado since the Penal Code that you quoted specifies that the firearm must NOT be concealed and you specifically said that a person may carry concealed.

also in my defense no other states were mentioned besides mn so I dont see how "many other intervening states were discussed"

Interesting, that could be true but it's unclear from the statute or at least that quoted section.

Perhaps this will read better.

Just google each state's laws. Its fast and easy. Most are pretty much the same.

You might not need to unload it. I recently went from Florida to South Carolina and the laws of all states I passed through allowed me to keep it loaded in the glove console. South Carolina even allowed me to transport it concealed from the car to the hotel room - something Florida does not provide for.
