Educated a cop about transporting a firearm in a vehicle

[LightningCrash]

Can the trunk lid be lexan instead of plexiglass?

absolutely. in fact the rack should be lexan or plexi as well.

Now I wish I got a targa top instead of the FRC. Already clear trunk.

One also has to wonder how the officer would have taken it if it hadn't been a lawyer informing him.

STOP RESISTING, SIR! Bzzzzzzzt.

so lets say i transported my pistol like this guy did. if i was getting car jacked or mauled by a freaking bear or something to that effect, could i than load up the gun and use it to defend myself without a CCL?

None of my Corvettes have a trunk, but the gun rack looks great in the passenger window!

"open" means the firearm is transported in plain view, in a case designed for carrying firearms, which case is wholly or partially visible, in a gun rack mounted in the vehicle, in an exterior locked compartment or a trunk of a vehicle.

Since a firearm can't be in two places at once I'm thinking all of those are considered "open" and the commas should be read as "or".

As my 36 yr English Major/Teacher (Mom) would drill into my head, when a comma is used to combine a group(s), it can be used as either and/or. The specific wording will dictate which one.

One would assume since your life is endanger that it would be clobbering time.

The laws on justified use of deadly force are totally separate from the laws governing carry or transport of a firearm. A good shoot is still a good shoot.
