I just got my CCW, and have a question that I thought of.

If I am transporting a long arm such as on the way to the range or to meet up with someone for a FTF sale, do I still need to keep the weapon in plain sight in my vehicle and it unloaded and no ammo near it?

I am thinking that the above is how it would still need to be transported but want to insure that getting my license didn't somehow change how I travel with other weapons.

Please excuse a foolish question from a newbie :)

This has been covered several times before and is adressed in the SDA statutes. Not to sound like a broken record please fully read the SDA handbook and be sure you understand it.

TITLE 21 § 1289.13. Transporting a loaded firearm
TRANSPORTING A LOADED FIREARM
Except as otherwise provided by the provisions of the Oklahoma Self-
Defense Act or another provision of law, it shall be unlawful to transport a
loaded pistol, rifle or shotgun in a land borne motor vehicle over a public
highway or roadway. However, a rifle or shotgun may be transported clip or
magazine loaded and not chamber loaded when transported in
an exterior locked
compartment of the vehicle or trunk of the vehicle or in the interior
compartment of the vehicle
notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1289.7 of
this title when the person is in possession of a valid handgun license pursuant to
the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act

TITLE 21 § 1289.7. Firearms in vehicles
FIREARMS IN VEHICLES
Any person, except a convicted felon, may transport in a motor vehicle a
rifle, shotgun or pistol, open and unloaded, at any time. For purposes of this
section “open” means the firearm is transported in plain view, in a case designed
for carrying firearms, which case is wholly or partially visible, in a gun rack
mounted in the vehicle, in an exterior locked compartment or a trunk of a
vehicle.
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.

Note that the bold printed portions of 1289.13 apply ONLY to a CCW permit holder. If you do not have a current CCW, you may not lawfully utilize the listed means of long gun transport.
