Just seemed easier to have a powerful airgun for "security" and some range time.. however it seems like i might have to first check if there is a range around that will allow using an airgun..

Laws are not so bad on transportation... It doesn't even have to be locked.

As long as you are going to or from a gun store, a range, or a gunsmith/repair, you can transport it.

Vehicle must not be unattented during this time.... ie Don't stop at iHop on your way to the range.

It has to be in the trunk basically, out of easy reach.

And "separated" from the ammo, ie no loaded mags in the gun or stored "with" the gun.

Although you can transport mags loaded (just not in the gun), some ranges (Continental Arms) will tell you that you can't.
They won't even let you enter range with loaded mags.

My understanding of the term "separated" means you can have the gun inside a range bag, and even have the ammo on a pouch/pocket on the "outside" of the range bag.. That counts as separated.

As for an Airgun.. not sure what you mean by "security".. If you mean "home defense".. forget it.. you might as well hand over the airgun, and allow the criminal to beat you to death with it.

If anything get a .22 rifle, which you can use at any range, and also do small hunting with.
