Ok, so I live in Arizona where recently it has become legal to carry concealed without having to have a permit. So my question is that while driving into Utah how should I transport the handgun while in Utah. I found the following at their website http://publicsafety.utah.gov/bci/FirearmLaws.html#Carrying
Carrying in Vehicles
A person may not carry a loaded weapon in a vehicle unless they have a valid permit to carry or:
They are at least 18 years old and
Has lawful possession of the vehicle or consent of the person who has lawful possession of the vehicle and
The weapon is not a rifle, shotgun or muzzle-loading rifle
It is lawful for a person with a concealed firearms permit to carry a firearm into a bus terminal.
It is lawful for a person with a concealed firearm permit to board a bus or a train or enter a terminal with a firearm upon their person or effects. This also applies to law enforcement officers or commercial security personnel with firearms used in their employment.
Laws governing the use of concealed firearms differ from state to state. It is important to understand the laws to ensure that your actions are in compliance with Utah law.
Sources: 53-5-704 Division duties - Utah Code §§ 23-20-11 et seq., 24-2-17, 76-10-301, 76-10-501 et seq.
So from what I understand if I lock it up in a case unloaded then I should be fine, correct? Would it be ok to have it in the cabin or would I have to have it in the trunk? It just says unloaded from how I read it.
