Since when does the Fish and Game interfere with your second amendment rights? Most states specify how you may transport firearms. Illinois, for example: CARRYING It is unlawful to carry or possess any firearm in any vehicle or concealed on or about the person, except on one`s land or in one`s abode or fixed place of business. It is unlawful to carry or possess any firearm on or about one`s person upon any public street, alley, or other public lands within the corporate limits of a city, village, or incorporated town, except when: 1) an invitee thereon or therein; 2)for the purpose of the display of firearms or the lawful commerce in firearms; or 3)when on one`s land or in one`s abode or fixed place of business. Exceptions are persons using their firearms on established target ranges; licensed hunters, trappers, or fishermen while engaged in their licensed activity; transportation of firearms that are broken down in a non-functioning state or are not immediately accessible (e.g., in the trunk of a car); and transportation, carrying, or possession of a firearm which is unloaded and enclosed in a case, firearm carrying box, shipping box, or other container, by the possessor of a valid FOID. Under the Wildlife Code, it is unlawful to have or carry any firearm in or on any vehicle or conveyance unless unloaded and enclosed in a case. Federal Law: Title 18, USC Sec. 926A. Interstate transportation of firearms Notwithstanding any other provision of any law or any rule or regulation of a State or any political subdivision thereof, any person who is not otherwise prohibited by this chapter from transporting, shipping, or receiving a firearm shall be entitled to transport a firearm for any lawful purpose from any place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm to any other place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm if, during such transportation the firearm is unloaded, and neither the firearm nor any ammunition being transported is readily accessible or is directly accessible from the passenger compartment of such transporting vehicle:Provided, That in the case of a vehicle without a compartment separate from the driver's compartment the firearm or ammunition shall be contained in a locked container other than the glove compartment or console.

>>Since when does the Fish and Game interfere with your second amendment rights?<< Some states have gun-related laws that are designed to enforce hunting ethics. Minnesota and other mid-western states require your gun to be unloaded and in a case. The intent is to prevent unsportsman-like "road hunting", where lazy (and sometimes drunk) hunters cruise the back roads looking for pheasants, grouse, deer etc which they can shoot from the side of the road. Things are different in southern and western states where you can stash your "influencer" on a rack in the pickup cab, all set to mow down Dennis Hopper when he roars by on his chopper bike. <g>
