"4C Secured in a case"
Does mean locked? Or just closed?

Cliff Notes:
*Unloaded
*Cased
*Inaccessible
No mention of locks.

stored unloaded in a case.
If it's a semi-auto do not leave loaded mags in the case.
Unload them as well and store the ammo in a different compartment in the vehicle.
These are just my suggestions if you don't want to spend an hour or more with a LEO.

Adding several steps the law does not require pales in comparison to just not mentioning your firearms during a traffic stop.
