Quoted: ok...so what can we all agree on then?
Does anyone have solid evidence either way on this?

This is from the NRA-ILA website:
"Loaded means a firearm with ammunition loaded in magazine or chamber or any firearm which is possessed by one who at the same time possesses a quantity of ammunition which may be used to discharge such a firearm. Possession of any loaded rifle or shotgun in a vehicle is illegal."
Im going to talk to a criminal attorney I know when I head back down to LI again. What I was told by a high school teacher (who was also a criminal atty) back 15 years ago when I asked this was:
"ok to load a mag and have it in your vehicle, you cant have the gun loaded though."
Anybody here who thinks that you cannot have a "loaded magazine" in your vehicle based on the wording of the above statement is smoking something. Based on the context of it, if for arguments sake you did ASSume that, then you could also not have any ammo with you in your vehicle, ie like when you go to the range. Simply not possible.
Bottom Line: You can have a loaded magazine, you can have ammo, you cant have a loaded gun in your vehicle.
