so recently i ran into a little situation that made me wonder.
i was out riding motorcycles with a friend when we stopped at gander mountain. while there, i decided to buy a 17HMR rifle, and suddenly my friend asked me: "how are you gonna get that home on your bike?"
to which i replied without thinking: "buy a sling and strap it on my back."
He didn't think that was legal, and it got me thinking.
Isn't the new law that you can transport long arms UNCASED as long as they are UNLOADED???
I was under the impression that that was legal, and so were several of the employees at gander, but now once again i'm doubting myself.
But in the end i did just put a sling on it, threw it over my back and rode almost 1 hour home, and even past a cop on the way, and nothing happened.
am i correct???
Thanks.
