I don't know how relevant it is, but several years ago, I was carrying my father's handgun in the trunk of car, when I was out walking around.. I had borrowed it to house sit.
A LEO asked me about it, when he pulled me over for a ?? to make sure the hoodlum looking kid wasn't up to no good. When asked I told him yes, I have a gun in the car... ok I was kinda dumb then, I know... HE asked to see it and I think he was genuinely interested in the piece (a Walther PPK) and seemed to just want to admire it.
I told him I had dad's blue card with me, in the box with the gun, in fact, and he said I should make sure that the gun and the card were not in the same place if I left it in my glovebox or trunk so it would not be with the gun if it got stolen.

I would think that just like if you were passing through, all you would have to do is explain that you are borrowing eth gun and all should be groovy.
