                            Transporting A Firearm In A Vehicle

                             Chapter 140 Section 131C. 
                                  No person carrying a loaded firearm under a Class A license  shall carry the same in a vehicle unless such firearm while carried therein is under the direct control of such person. Whoever violates the provisions of this subsection shall be punished by a fine of $500.

                                 No person carrying a firearm under a Class B license  shall possess the same in a vehicle unless such weapon is unloaded and contained within the locked trunk of such vehicle or in a locked case or other secure container. Whoever violates the provisions of this subsection shall be punished by a fine of $500.
                                 No person possessing a large capacity rifle or shotgun under a Class A or Class B license  shall possess the same in a vehicle unless such weapon is unloaded and contained within the locked trunk of such vehicle or in a locked case or other secure container. Whoever violates the provisions of this subsection shall be punished by a fine of not less than $500 nor more than $5,000.
                            What this says in lay mans terms as best as I can interpret is that unless you have a class A permit and carry the gun on your person it must be unloaded and locked in a secure container.  If you find that mass laws are difficult and confusing please review the site for mass gun law reform.  this is a complete firearm law reform proposal that is sponsored By G.O.A.L. (gun owners action league)
