No boolits in the handgun, unless you carry it concealed.

Or, you could try loading each and every pistol to the hilt and stuff 'em all in a duffel bag. Place it on the front passenger seat. Let us know how that works out when the Man discovers it! ESPECIALLY if goperfect pulls you over. Then you're gonna feel some pain!

If they are in a range bag they are concealed. I would not just leave them hanging out, but what's the difference of me riding around in my car with my pistol in a holster or a pistol in a range bag.
Plus what type of permit do you have?

IF YOU DO NOT KNOW THE ANSWER< DON"T POST. Too many people here are posting such incorrect information. Seriously, please stop!

I load all the mags before going to the range. Keep them in my range bag with other ammo. Pistols are in a case.

What's the problem if you have a permit?

Rifles and shotguns can't be loaded while transporting via car. Pistols can be loaded, but although legal, it's a bad idea to have any guns with rounds in the chamber while they're not in your immediate control.

Obviously my carry is always loaded, my other two I don't bother loading and chambering. Mags are loaded and in pockets in the bag. I'm sure it would just ease the officer's mind knowing that I couldn't just reach into the bag and pull out a hot and ready (if I wasn't already carrying).

You have a concealed carry license. You are authorized to carry concealed pistols and revolvers. If they are in a range bag, they are concealed. Whether they should be loaded or shouldn't be is entirely up to you.
What crime is being committed for having your range bag packed fully?
New York counties issue unrestricted pistol licenses that allow unrestricted concealed carry of a loaded handgun
What would the difference be if I had 5 loaded pistols in a range bag or I was carrying those same pistols on my person?

In Nassau county, you'll get your license suspended/revoked if you're carrying more than one loaded gun on your person. It's in the handbook.
I just looked. I didn't see that rule. Can you post it here?

Under definitions for Target/Hunting carry license:
Section 1c:
c.
Firearms may only be transported between the licensee's residence and a lawful target shooting location and/or a lawful hunting area located within the State of New York (also see “Traveling Through New York City (Five Boroughs)” at Chapter 2, Section B of this Handbook).
Note: When traveling to/from a lawful target shooting location or lawful hunting location, only one(1) loaded firearm may be carried concealed on the licensee’s person. All other firearms must be appropriately secured for travel(see terms and definitions).

And if we want to be anal about it, "secured for travel" means the following:
APPROPRIATELY SECURED FOR TRAVEL:
To have unloaded firearm(s) in a locked container with ammunition and firearms stored separately in locked containers.Storage should be in the trunk, however, if the vehicle does not have a trunk, the locked containers must be kept the farthest distance possible from the licensee‟s person.
To be clear, this isn't the law, this is what Nassau can/will use to mess with you, and they most absolutely are interested in messing with you if you give them the opportunity.

^^^Agreed, and anyone who transports a loaded handgun which is NOT holstered on the person is flirting with a ticket (mimimum) or jailtime. Any one who thinks otherwise is naive and out to prove a point which may not fly with LEO
Driver ---- Why am I being stopped officer?
LEO --- Your taillight is out, so I am writing you up.....Oh, I see you are carrying along 118 loaded handguns on the seat of your car, do you have a PP?
Driver --- sure, here it is, officer
LEO --- OK, good to go, have a nice day
What planet does this happen on?

Welllll you would have to be dumb to have it on your seat. I'm not going back through but I believe most (all?) said in a bag.

What of you normally carry two loaded firearms? Are you expected to download just because you're going to the range?
Thank you for posting the rules from your county.
In the OP, it was mentioned that he does have an unrestricted permit. No limit as to how many guns at that point; again, concealed. No one said laying in front seat.
People really need to read and understand laws!

Conceal away and load up 500 handguns then. Just don't leave them in plain view and have fun. There are no restrictions. You can walk around the city with 500 handguns on you then if you can conceal them.
Yeah that's smart until some asshole puts them in their truck bed and has them stolen out of thier truck bed because he has the shits and has to stop at a bathroom. The stupid is strong here. I'm not arguing that that is the rule for you f'ed up county or arguing with you. It's just the most asinine rule I've ever heard of. You can carry concealed one gun to prot Ct from theft of your other guns while going to the range??

Why should they have to read the only 2 Penal Laws that pertain to firearms?
Billy Bob the FFL at the the gunshop and his buddy Tim the Hangaround are respected individuals that know the laws.

Yep, the "one firearm only" part of the Nassau handbook is only for the non-unrestricted licensees. Unrestricted licenses in Nassau are like a unicorn though. Scuttlebutt is that there are less than 12 of them in the county.

I read (can't find the website right now) that I can't carry in my wife's car because it isn't registered to me.
I can carry in mine because the registration matches my permit.
