No reason to open the trunk and yeah, you're ok.

Other than in Philly or during a declared emergency - for the rest of the state the ONLY restriction on transporting a long gun(rifle/shotgun) in PA is that it cannot be loaded. That means no ammo in the chamber or in a fixed magazine.

For guns that use detachable magazines, any loaded magazines suitable for the guns that are present must be in a separate container. Loose, boxed, or otherwise cased ammo can be anywhere including duct taped to the gun.

18 Pa.C.S.A. § 6102 Definitions

“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.
