Just got my new handgun, didn't really want it but it was now or never lol. Couple questions regarding transport and stuff.

1. Do I have to call the police every time I'm taking it to the range?
2. Am I allowed to take it to the range and then stay the night somewhere with it in my car trunk (in an opaque case) at a residence that is not associated to my PAL/RPAL?
3. I received the handgun with an orange plug in the barrel, is this the same as having a trigger lock or cable lock (or am I technically breaking the law storing it with just this?)

Appreciate any insights or add anything you think I should be aware of that I didn't mention

Thanks for replying, I'm reading this and it seems like I do need an ATT to transport it to the range?

Even if it's an overnight stay at a motel for a competition. But you cannot store it in your car.
