CCL with non-carry guns in the Vehicle

[Okie4Life]

So I was driving the other day and started thinking..... If I get pulled over I have an unloaded shotgun tucked in the backseat (about 20% visable). I was not carrying () at the time but should I LEGALLY be required to provide my permit and advise of the gun?

Now what if it was an unloaded handgun in the backseat out of reach.

Now unloaded in reach.....


I am just asking where you feel legally required to notify, not what would be ethical or morally correct.

Title 21 § 1289.7

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.

Sounds like it (referring to the pistol) needs to be in a case or rack if it's in the cab with you - otherwise, you have a duty to inform.

You only have to inform if you are carrying under the conditions of the SDA. If the firearms are unloaded, you are not carrying under the SDA, simply transporting a firearm and there is no duty to inform in that case. However, if you are asked if there are weapons in the vehicle it would probably be in your best interest to answer truthfully.

Comma is important in that one. No case or rack required. In plain sight and unloaded.

I'm not sure how much has been updated, but that one is dated from 2012. This one is from 2013.
