      Question about handgun registration.

      I'm under the impression that I do not have to register a legally purchased handgun that was obtained while living in another state, but can have it registered with state police if I feel that it's necessary. Is this true? Would I benefit from registering with state police? Thanks in...

      ANYONE ELSE WITH A JERICHO 941?

      My first handgun I bought about 5 years ago was a IWI Jericho 941 .40 aka Baby Eagle. After looking around in Shops and Stores I noticed not too many folks make accessories or carry them in general. So I think I will purchase another soon.

      Transporting

      I'm sure this thread has been done to death but would someone mind helping me out? If I'm taking my handgun to the range is it sufficient for it to be 1) unloaded 2) in a holster 3) in a backpack, mags and ammo are also in the pack 4) in the trunk.
