I am going to be bringing numerous guns back with me to Washington from Wyoming. I will be in a hatchback with no trunk. I'll probably have 3 or 4 cases for the guns. So my question is, would one or two good, sturdy tiewraps through the holes in the cases for locks be considered as locking the cases for the requirements of FOPA?
1. What is the difference for me gaining access to the firearms between having the key to a lock in my pocket and having a pocket knife in my pocket to cut the tie wraps with?
2. If someone steals the cases, what difference does it make if there is a metal lock on the case, when all they have to do is cut or melt through the plastic case anyway?
