Yes, I am bored. Here I find myself reading the Federal Firearms Regulation book, and what do I stumble upon you might ask. Well there has been discussions on where your firearm and ammo belong while in the car, here is the statute found in title 18 of the US code chapter 44 section 926A.
I sounds alot like what some people have been told and are repeating.
It pertains only to interstate transporting of firearms, notwithstanding any state or local laws, since we being residents of WI. and transporting our firearms intrastate, this federal statute does not apply, in my opinion.
Any BCM lawyers care to interpret?
18 USC Sec. 926A 01/05/2009

may lawfully possess and carry such firearm to any other place

such transportation the firearm is unloaded, and neither the
firearm nor any ammunition being transported is readily accessible
or is directly accessible from the passenger compartment of such

without a compartment separate from the driver's compartment the
