I've got two questions about gun racks on the rear hatch window in these
vans.  First is: is there some kind of locking mechanism on these racks to
keep the gun(s) from falling out when you open the hatch?  Second is: does
anybody out there know the weapons laws in Oregon for having a gun in the
car?  I've heard that if it is in the trunk, then it is OK, and apparently
it is OK for them to be in racks in PUs, but for vans, I've gotten many
varied responses.  One last question, what about transporting guns across
state borders?  All advice is appreciated (hopefully it will be some what
more consistant than I've gotten some far).  TIA
