Does anyone know if the federal laws specifically call out if motorcycle saddlebags are considered an accessable or innaccessable container on the vehicle?
I am travelling from Maine, through NH, MA and into NY. Maine is the only state I have a CCW in... I spoke with the State Police of each state, and MA follows the BATF federal guidelines and the Sgt I spoke with did not dare make a ruling on it, other then to say he would not cite me if the gun were in one bag, and the ammo in the other.
I know that in reality, tha bags are not accesable without stopping the bike, getting off the bike and oppening the bags... sounds a lot like a trunk to me.
Any thoughts?
Also, the NY State Police website only talks about purchasing and carrying a gun. If I can find a range where I am going, and I legally transport the guns through NH and MA, can I keep and shoot my guns when in NY?
