First, why would you forget you have a gun in the car if you're going to the range? Isn't that the whole point of the trip? Second, he won't find it unless you have it in plain sight, or you give consent or probable cause to search. Generally cased & unloaded in the trunk is fine, with your ammo in a separate container (preferably in a different area of the car).
Since you mention "3 steps", are you in Florida by any chance? It's generally accepted in FL to have a pistol loaded and holstered in the glovebox w/o being licensed.

I do exactly it out of admire.) that's in south Texas and we now have had over ninety days of one hundred degree temperatures. I even have by no skill had an quandary with warmth and ammo discharging. i assume it might ensue, yet i've got been transporting ammo and weapons for over 30 years and not utilising an issue.

Son, you could go to jail for a lo-ooo-ong time! But there're ways to get around the usual prohibitions: carry the weapon in a locked case, unloaded, and with ammunition in an entirely different location within the vehicle. Even better - carry the locked, unloaded weapon disassembled.

Sure, but you can go to jail for sneezing too. Can he charge you? Sure . You opened your mouth and lied to him. Obstructing an investigation. I don't know what state your in regarding your hand gun. Most times it's best to shut up and let a lawyer talk. People always convict themselves , thinking they can talk their way out of it, Cops have an unstated right to lie to anyone in the course of their investigations. Not so for you.
