I always transport my firearms cased and unloaded (obviously) but I also use the chamber plugs. I've always just figured if I was ever stopped and it got to the point where the officer was checking the guns out the plug would give a little peace of mind that at least there wasn't a round in the chamber.
On the other hand I was in one of my LGS's a few weeks back and someone brought in a pistol to try and sell them. Guy behind the counter opens the case, gun is plugged, but he locks the slide back anyway so hard that the plug flew halfway across the store.
Would an officer in a stop do the same? Does it not make any sense to use plugs?
For me if I was safety checking a gun with a plug in it I'd just drop the mag. If I wanted to "check out" the gun beyond that just slowly lock the slide back and remove plug.
So what say ye, and what do YOU do?
