Does the law/regulation have an allowance to carry a gun in a locked container or the trunk?

Yes and no.

The Gunowners Protection Act which was passes as law sometime during the mid 1980's says that anywhere a gun is legal at the starting point and the destination can be transported as long as it's in a locked container in the trunk/not accessable to the driver and unloaded.

The problem arises when an officer decides that he has never heard of such a law and it's up to a judge to explain it to the both of you.
