Hey all, few quick questions about firearm transportation.

Say, i plan to go to a range after work, can i bring my restricted firearm with me (Of course locked in a case with trigger lock attached & in the trunk) then go to the range after work?

Or do i have to get home to pickup my gun after work then head over to the range?

Also, another case scenario, if i want to go to the range with my friends in one car,

is it ok to have my guns in the trunk (Locked in case) and go pick up my friend who brings his own guns then head to the range?

Some ppl told me that i must head over to the range straight back and forth only from home, without any detours.
