What if you don't have a concealed carry permit and you carry your gun from your car into a gun range in a gun case and you are on property that you don't own? Would this be considered illegally carrying a concealed weapon.

Another concealed carry question...from car into gun range
- Thread starter Hogdaddy

If you are uncertain just unload it. An empty gun is not a weapon.
Do what?
I'm not trying to start an argument with you but I think for what you're talking about it also has to be in a case. An unloaded concealed weapon is just that.
To wit
PART 3 - CARRYING AND POSSESSION OF FIREARMS
§ 16-11-126 - Possession and carrying a concealed weapon; penalty for violating licensing requirement
C.Any person who is not prohibited by law from possessing a handgun or long gun may have or carry any handgun provided that it is enclosed in a case and unloaded
Right.
It's still a "weapon" when it is unloaded and in the case,
but the law has an exception that allows you to carry a weapon that way-- outside of your vehicle, and even on property that you don't own.
I prefer to call this type of unloaded and encased carry "transportation" rather than 'carry.' When I use the term CARRY, I refer to a gun that is quickly accessible to use for self-defense.
Transport is just getting an item from point A to point B.

He already stated it would be in a case.
You sir, are correct. I have to stop ODTing on my phone.
My main point being that an unloaded weapon is just that, a weapon that is unloaded.
Yeah, I suppose in as much as a club is a weapon.
From a legal standpoint
the ranges I have been to require all incoming guns to be cased and unloaded.
