Alright, so this is a dumb question. Is it alright to have ammo in my shotgun case while I am driving or does it have to be locked up seperatly? What if the shotgun is out in the open? Thanks.
About time I figure this out

Not a dumb question, but a very essential one.
State regulations apply.
In my state, Colorado, you cannot have rounds in the chamber when driving.
I suppose that Concealed Carry weapons are different from hunting firearms.
If you have rounds in a rifle or shotgun, you could leave yourself open to suspicion of road-hunting, or shooting from your vehicle, which is almost universally forbidden I think.

Depends on where you live. I don't know about Washington, but here you can have them loaded in the magazine and theres no problem.

Right forum or not I would like to know the answer for the State of Tennessee. I don't have a loaded shotgun when I go to the trap range, but I do have ammo beside the shotgun in transit. Sorry, but my truck does not have a trunk or back seat. The question has always bugged me even though no one has ever stopped me or suggested it was illegal. I am specifically talking about a shotgun now and not a handgun.

Didn't say I did, just saying its legal here. Some places like California can call it a loaded firearm if the ammunition is in the same case or near the firearm, there does not have to be any ammo in the gun itself. I have herd that an UN loaded revolver with a loaded speed loader can be charged as a loaded weapon.
