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?

To clarify

A) Gun does not require trigger lock when in safe.

B) Ammo can be in safe with firearms. You can even have loaded magazines right next to said firearm (But not inside of)

C) Contrary to what Remms stated, if you have a pistol legally stored in a hard case outside of a safe (with trigger lock, case also locked) ammo can be stored inside of the case, and same deal again with loaded magazines.)
