Last time i read the law it said "locked in a case" it didn't specify whether the case had to be lockable or just a trigger lock on it and in a case, depends how the cop will interpret it, not that any of them know the intracicies of these fugged up laws.
In this state you don't want to take any chances so locked in a hradside locakble case unloaded is best. Cheap plastic cases are around at #^&#^&#^&#^&s, etc etc. no need to go all out. even the best cases won't stop a thief once he's got the case somewhere he can work on it.

Just so anyone that is interested knows; the above doesn't apply to handguns.
