shotgun in your vehicle.

[glockbull]

new to the board and curious about a shotgun in your vehicle. does it have to be unloaded or can it be loaded. in plain sight or hidden. thanks and look forward to talking with you all.

absolutely no loaded longguns in a vehicle unless you are exempted: LEO, military, etc.

[glockbull]

thanks for the reply. does the gun have to be unaccesable like behind your seat and the ammo in your glove box or could they be togther in a case.

The gun and the ammo must be in separate compartments. Can be in the same case, just in a different compartment thereof.

Unloaded, ammo & gun NOT in the same container (think not being able to touch each other), does NOT have to be inaccessable.

Hmmm....just thinking about when we go hunting. We hunt a couple different patches of woods, so we are in and out of the trucks a couple times. Guns are always unloaded, but the shells always go in my pocket of my vest. Is this acceptable?

[ChamberedRound]

So a gun rack in a truck is OK as long as the guns aren't loaded, and the ammo is separate... never realized this. Thanks for the clarification.

Other posters are correct about long guns in vehicles. But here's an interesting thing about Pennsylvania law. If you pay your NFA tax, and get the tax stamp from the ATF, it's perfectly lawful to possess a short barreled shotgun, AOW, or short barreled rifle. If you have an AR-15 with a 14.5 inch barrel on it, under Pennsylvania law, it's a "firearm" for Uniform Firearms Act purposes, and you can carry it loaded in your vehicle if you have a license to carry firearms.

I'd like to see him bring it to bear before a carjacker busts a cap in his ass with his pistol. ...then if he did manage to bring it to bear and win - I'd like to see him try to avoid his new roommate "Bubba" for not fleeing since he was already in a vehicle.

Longguns are worthless within a vehicle, and if you are in a vehicle you have a means to flee before using force. Tactically and justifiably, longguns have no legit use being loaded in a vehicle.
