[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 3037833, member: 796"] [B] Please excuse my bluntness, but the speculation about putting a loaded mag in the gun and calling it unloaded is nonsense. That in OK is "magazine loaded." There is NO REQUIREMENT in OK law to physically separate a loaded magazine any particular distance from the gun: just don't insert it. You can rubber band a loaded magazine to an empty semi-auto and lay it open on the seat. It must be "open" as defined below. If you get hauled into court, the black letter law below will apply. You must have a license to legally transport a loaded gun in Oklahoma. [B]The SDA quoted below is the OK law:[/B] TITLE 21 § 1289.7 FIREARMS IN VEHICLES [/B] 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. Any person who is the operator of a vehicle or is a passenger in any vehicle wherein another person who is licensed pursuant to the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act to carry a handgun, concealed or unconcealed, and is carrying a handgun or has the handgun in such vehicle, shall not be deemed in violation of the provisions of this section provided the licensee is in or near the vehicle. [B] TITLE 21 § 1289.13 TRANSPORTING A LOADED FIREARM [/B] 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. Any person convicted of a violation of this section shall be punished as provided in Section 1289.15 of this title. [/QUOTE]
