WTK: RIFLE BROKEN DOWN - LOADED MAGS OK?
It is my understanding that you cannot legally carry a loaded rifle in your vehicle. You also cannot carry a rifle AND loaded mags in your vehicle. There may be an exception for travel to the range, but this question is not related to that...Can you have loaded mags for the weapon in your vehicle IF the rifle is broken down? Can you legally carry a rifle in covert style case, if it is disassembled, and also have loaded mags as well?
Reason I ask is that I recently attended a seminar at which a cop spoke regarding PA gun laws, and he stated rifle and loaded mags in vehicle is a NO-NO.Last edited by SPEEDGUNNER; July 17th, 2013 at 09:38 PM.

I always have loaded magazines in my car, with the assembled rifle. The rifle stays in it's case, and the mags are in the range bag in the back seat.
It is my understanding that the magazines just can't be with the rifle. Or shells with the shotgun, etc etc.I'm so fast, I can bump fire a bolt action.

Philly and during a state of emergency, you need a LTCF for long guns in vehicle.
Long guns must always be unloaded
Unloaded for long guns means no rounds in chamber
No loaded mags inserted in gun
Loaded mags need to be separate from gun
Loaded mag in same bag but different container of same bag is ok
Gun doesn't need to be broken down
Loose ammo can be with gun, even duct taped to it
Location in vehicle is irrelevant

Re: WTK: RIFLE BROKEN DOWN - LOADED MAGS OK?
A similar question was asked a few weeks ago about an AR7...
Having a loaded mag in the gun would constitution a loaded weapon regardless as to whether the gun is assembled.
Just keep the loaded magazine in a separate container and you wont have to worry about spending 90 days in jail, a fine, court costs, and losing the gun to seizure.RIP: SFN, 1861, twoeggsup, Lambo, jamesjo, JayBell, 32 Magnum, Pro2A, mrwildroot, dregan, Frenchy, Fragger, ungawa, Mtn Jack, Grapeshot, R.W.J., PennsyPlinker, Statkowski, Deanimator, roland, aubie515

§ 6102. Definitions
“Firearm.” Any pistol or revolver with a barrel length less than 15 inches, any shotgun with a barrel length less than 18 inches or any rifle with a barrel length less than 16 inches, or any pistol, revolver, rifle or shotgun with an overall length of less than 26 inches. The barrel length of a firearm shall be determined by measuring from the muzzle of the barrel to the face of the closed action, bolt or cylinder, whichever is applicable.
“Loaded.” A firearm is loaded if the firing chamber, the nondetachable magazine or, in the case of a revolver, any of the chambers of the cylinder contain ammunition capable of being fired. In the case of a firearm which utilizes a detachable magazine, the term shall mean a magazine suitable for use in said firearm which magazine contains such ammunition and has been inserted in the firearm or is in the same container or, where the container has multiple compartments, the same compartment thereof as the firearm. If the magazine is inserted into a pouch, holder, holster or other protective device that provides for a complete and secure enclosure of the ammunition, then the pouch, holder, holster or other protective device shall be deemed to be a separate compartment.
§ 6106.1. Carrying loaded weapons other than firearms

(b) Penalty.--A person who violates the provisions of this section commits a summary offense.
§ 6108. Carrying firearms on public streets or public property in Philadelphia
No person shall carry a firearm, rifle or shotgun at any time upon the public streets or upon any public property in a city of the first class unless:
