I have a full sized crew cab 4x4 pickup, so of course there is no trunk, and I would not consider putting my pistol in a tool box in the body if I had one. At the present I have under the rear seat storage compartments, in order to access this compartment, you have to physically lift up the seat bottom over the compartment that you wish to access. I already use this compartment to store targets so that I will have them when going to the range.
My question is this, in Delaware, am I legal if I store my unloaded 1911 in a gun sock in this storage compartment and lock a couple of loaded magazines in the glove compartment or console. Next question, if I do this and should be stopped for any reason, would I be required to disclose this to the officer. I would have to be some kind of contortionist to access this compartment while securely buckled in the driver's seat.
I plan to apply for my concealed carry in the near future ( should have done it a long time ago ) and if I do so, this question would be a mute one, however with things like they are was looking for the next best option in the meantime.
Thanks for anyhelp
