Hmm, so I can put my unloaded Pistol, in it's original case, with loaded mag(s) also in this case, as long as this case is in my trunk? No need for a trigger lock or ammo stored in separate location within the vehicle, or the case it's self to be locked?
Correct.
If the gun is in the passenger compartment of the vehicle, you're in violation of the law.
If your vehicle does not have a trunk, it must be unloaded, locked, and inaccessible to the driver.
I have a Criminal Procedure book from the State Police and it says that the gun must be in a case designed to hold a gun, the word locked is not in the wording. Plus it says nothing as to wherethe ammo must be stored.
(d) To a person while transporting a pistol for a lawful purpose that is licensed by the owner or occupant of the motor vehicle in compliance with section 2 of 1927 PA 372, MCL 28.422, and the pistol is unloaded in a closed case designed for the storage of firearms in the trunk of the vehicle.

I carried my pistol behind my truck seat in a wooden case unlatched facing up so that when Ipracticed leaning forward, tipping the seat forward with my elbow, the casewould open up enough for me to get my fingers in the case enough to open it further& get the gun out. Since it is an Auto the clip was in the door handle or on the seat. The pistol was always placed in the case with the slide back so as to Lock & Load quicker.
