Am I correct in understanding the law in that I can keep a long gun in my vehicle as long as there are no rounds in the chamber or magazine?
Are there any local shops that sell gun scabbards? I was thinking about keeping a gun behind the seat of my truck. In a regular cab pickup this would be stuck between the bench seat and the back wall. Next to impossible to reach while driving. My original thought involves a scabbard hung behind the seat and a few rounds in the glove compartment. Plan B involves sticking the gun in the toolbox with some rounds in the glove box, which I'm pretty sure is no problem but I'd rather have it behind the seat. I don't have my CCW if that affects the answer. Title 21 Section 1289.7 of the SDA concerns carrying firearms in vehicles. The part that I think says that I would be legal reads, "Any person, except a convicted felon, may transport in a motor vehicle a rifle or shotgun concealed behind a seat of the vehicle or within the interior of the vehicle provided the rifle or shotgun is not clip, magazine or chamber loaded. The authority to transport a clip or magazine loaded rifle or shotgun shall be pursuant to Section 1289.13 of this title." |
