Question regarding storage of a restricted pistol… if I have a trigger lock on and keep the pistol in my safe, does the pistol need to also be in the hard case it came in while in the safe? Or can I leave the pistol out on its own outside of the case?

If the handgun is in the safe it doesn't need to be trigger locked or in a second locked container.

Thanks for the response and great to know. Do you by chance know if ammo stored in the same safe changes anything?

Pretty sure it can be stored in the safe with the firearm. In locked container ammunition cannot be present
