Shotgun in trunk in Chicago?

[Manan]

A shotgun in the trunk? Why chance it? And really, of what value would it be in almost any self-protection situation? If you have that much time, drive off or run! Reality!!!

Thanks for that link. I remembered reading it but I couldn't find it again.

JUST DO NOT CARRY IT ON YOUR PERSON!

As long as it is unloaded & enclosed in a case, carrying it on your person isn't a problem. See the case I quoted above. She was carrying an unloaded gun in her purse & was found not guilty by the IL SC.

Maybe he wants it so that if he has to stay overnight in a motel he would have some protection? There are any number of valid reasons to carry a gun in your trunk. That's reality.
