That's the case for most governments it would seem

Take California for example: the trunk is the acceptable location for a firearm to be transported in as it is separate from the main driving area of the vehicle

Because, you know, it's kinda hard to get to the trunk while you're driving

In Canada it's recommended that you carry liquor in the trunk as well (esp if it's open), to avoid cops dragging you down to the station for a breathalyzer.
