HF 396:
Subdivision 1. Storage. The owner of a firearm must take reasonable action to secure
1.10 the firearm when it is not carried or under the control of the owner or an authorized user.
1.11 For this purpose, reasonable action requires a firearm to be stored unloaded with a locking
1.12 device and separately from its ammunition.
2.18 (e) "Locking device" means a feature of a firearm or an external device that renders the
2.19 firearm inaccessible or inoperable, or both, to children and unauthorized users. Locking
2.20 device includes but is not limited to the following: a biometric lock; a trigger lock; a barrel
2.21 lock; a cylinder lock; a gun vault; a locked cabinet; a locked box; or any other appropriate
2.22 locked container.
The way I read this, it would include when transporting a firearm, say cased in your car, if you happen to go in for lunch, to pay for gas, etc. So, trigger locks or locked case unless in your immediate control.
