Moving from PA to NC later this summer - transporting collection
Good morning everyone.
Studying all the resources here and elsewhere, my F150 King Cab is going to be the transport vehicle later this summer when we move. I don't have a cap on the truck, so everything will be behind the seat, and obviously the ammo & firearms will be separate in ammo boxes and the firearms in sleeves, and about 10% in the few lockable cases I own. The concern is the requirement for "locked container" within the safe passage provisions. For a one-time trip of 11 or so hours here to there, it would be a good sum to get a locked container for each.
There doesn't seem to be a way around this, and the bed is going to be full of housewares and such anyway. I guess I'm either taking a chance or facing getting lockable containers - I'm even thinking out of the box and wrapping a steel cable around all the sleeves, but that's only tossing an idea out there. Or I use another vehicle for the task.
Ideas? Will be traveling down I79 to 19 through Summersville, then 77 down to the Charlotte area. So, traveling through WV, VA then into NC.
Thanks in advance, and my apologies for a subject that has been discussed before. ProfThe right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

Do you have a LTCF? Are any of your firearms illegal in any of the states you are passing through? Are locked boxes really necessary? You might be addressing a problem that you don't have. IANAL

Looks like you are avoiding MD and 81. That's the tricky state usually headed south. Ammo separate of the long guns and you will be fine. Pistols ammo separate if you do not have a LTCF

If I am traveling I like to clear weapons, and when they are cased, toss a zip lock on the zippers. For me its just a visual that the weapon is clear and ready to go, but, it also technically is "locked"

Thanks guys - and yes I do have my LTCF, and yes AR's and those horrible standard magazines are slated to be on board. VA is the concern, but again just passing through.

Just mail them all to yourself. USPS is reliable.

I don't know what is going on with VA these days - but if avoiding MD you're likely fine...

I'd say that you are right to be concerned about VA and if you have US Law Shield or USCCA insurance, you could call them, they should have solid advice. Could you possibly lock all questionable firearms in one larger box? It would be cheaper than buying multiple boxes.
