i do not have a cwp. i travel with my job frequently and many times i find myself staying in un pleasant areas, so i do want a pistol in my hotel rooms w/me at night. this is in oregon and washington, im sure the laws vary slightly from state to state. what i am doing is using a cable lock to lock it to the inside of the trunk through the action, ammo is packed inside suitcase. obviously not easily accessable/usable.
now i have been pulled over a few times with many guns in the trunk unlocked. BUT thats on my way to/from shooting or buying/selling. each time i have said first off- i want to let you know that i am on my way to/from shooting and i have unloaded guns in the trunk. once was with 2 aks, a hk .308 copy and a ar15. no problems. but im wondering how different it is if im carrying it for defense while traveling.
anyone know the rules on this?
