When placing your cased firarm out of reach in order to travel do you also have to have your ammuniton out of reach and encased? For those who carry a spare magazine or speedloader, do those need to be put in the trunk or out of reach and be encased? Can the spare mag or speedloader stay in position on your belt while you are driving if the firearm is in the trunk?

I've looked through some of the statutes, but only see they are talking about the firearm. Unless I just missed it in my reading.

Thanks in advance for any input.

There are absolutely zero restrictions on ammo so long as the magazine with ammo in it is not attached to the firearm as then it would not be unloaded.
