    18 Pa. C.S. § 6106.1. Carrying loaded weapons other than firearms.

    (a) General rule.--Except as provided in Title 34 (relating to game), no person shall carry a loaded pistol, revolver, shotgun or rifle, other than a firearm as defined in section 6102 (relating to definitions), in any vehicle. The provisions of this section shall not apply to persons excepted from the requirement of a license to carry firearms under section 6106(b)(1), (2), (5) or (6) (relating to firearms not to be carried without a license) nor shall the provisions of this section be construed to permit persons to carry firearms in a vehicle where such conduct is prohibited by section 6106.

    (b) Penalty.--A person who violates the provisions of this section commits a summary offense.

    Very simple. It is never legal to carry a loaded long rifle or shotgun in as vehicle, unless you are LEO.
