I have a set of gun rack in my garage and I would like to put them in my truck. Now Before the obvious is point out. The racks themselves I know are legal. My question is, Can I have a gun in it legally? I just want to keep my .22 in there. Trigger lock, not loaded, clip and ammo in the glove box. Last time I was pulled over I ask the cop. He was not so friendly and wanted to give me 4 tickets and not let me leave without a DOT helmet. Needles to say. I got no answer. Thanks -adam ---

Ammo must be stored in a different compartment than the weapon, and the glove box does not count. So if you have a truck, the ammo has to be in the bed, or under the hood, I know the last one isn’t to practical, so I guess you might wana get a water tight box for the ammo. Of course, if you want the gun rack, then I know you MUST have a bed box already in it, along with truck nuts 🙂 ---

I assume it’s a truck gun. 1. 22’s are ghey, get a big boy rifle 2. put it behind the seat if you want to keep it loaded (don’t get pulled over) ---

don’t bother with a rifle… shotguns are more intimidating. ---

I don’t think I’d ever want to leave my gun in open sight for someone to steal. To transport it though I don’t think it’d be a problem. ---

It is legal as long as the gun is not loaded. As far as storage of the ammo I am not sure on that, storage in another compartment? I believe as long as the weapon is not loaded and no ammo in a cartridge he should be fine. The better question is why you would want to leave a gun in a vehicle unaatended? ---

Another option is to put a truck safe in the truck, you can put your ammo and your pistol in there.
