TTC Special Constables have the same legal boundries as the Toronto Police on TTC property. Technically they're cops while on the Subway sans pistols.

I've carried lightsabers on the London bus system lots of times in locked gun cases.

Other then a lot of strange looks, it's never been a problem. You also never have to worry about finding a seat :P

So: I'll be transporting the gun in a locked rifle case inside a snowboard bag. The bag is big enough to easily take a full-length oversize single rifle case. A snowboard case won't attract any attention and I am still complying with the law.

Ammo and batteries will be stored in whatever other bag I take with me.

I think that should do! No-one freaked out and if the police do get involved somehow there won't be any issues because I'm in compliance with the law.

Any thoughts?

The whole thing was already solved, albeit overlooked even at the time of posting...
Did anyone notice that this thread was a necro? Well, it's got good information so it's welcome I suppose.
