Gun cased and unloaded, unloaded defined as no live round in the chamber, and not having a loaded magazine attached to the gun. The loaded ammo can be right next to the pistol in the case, and it can also be sitting on your lap while you drive, law doesn't say it has to be in the trunk. Law doesn't say the ammo has to be in the trunk and the gun somewhere else, all myths people, use facts. Don't believe me look it up in the state statutes.
