Background: Father has a CCP. Guns are all in his name as are the cars.

I plan on getting a Sportman's Firearm Permit next week. I'm 19

I have a question about the legality of transporting a gun in my car. I commute to college and home every week. About 4 hours in the car. Is it legal for me to have a handgun and ammunition (2 seperate containers) in the trunk for emergencies?

For example, last weekend a deer was hit on the road but not dead, it would have been nice to have something to put it out of it's misery.

So if I get a sportsman's firearm permit and carry it with my hunting/fishing license. Couldn't I legally carry a handgun in the car (unload in the trunk)?

Also I know in PA law it says something about if the gun is owned by the person with the CCP and the car is registered to that person (my father) no license is required.

Basically I want to keep a handgun in the trunk for emergencies but want to be able to do so legally.
