Take my glock for instance,
I field strip it and put the spring and slide in the trunk, then keep the stock and barrel in the glove box in my car. Would this still be considered "may readily be converted"? I wasn't sure if there were any cases that this kind of thing may have came up.
My primary concern is that I work on a property that does not allow firearms. With an hour commute to work and the closest range midway between work and home, I can't ever make it to the range after work cause it's hour and thirty min before I get to range. I also am aware that the chances of having car searched are slim, but I could see myself getting in a lot of trouble (at least with work).
