I think I set this in the wrong way by saying you could if unloaded... to be clear. NON-CCW holders HANDGUNS: In car, or on motorcycle, must be unloaded and not accessible. I've heard the general rule of thumb is "how long will it take to make this a weapon" LONGGUNS: In car, or on motorcycle, must be unloaded, action open (4) If the firearm is at least twenty-four inches in overall length as measured from the muzzle to the part of the stock furthest from the muzzle and if the barrel is at least eighteen inches in length, either in plain sight with the action open or the weapon stripped, or, if the firearm is of a type on which the action will not stay open or which cannot easily be stripped, in plain sight.

(Although I suspect open carrying will result in MWAG calls) LONGGUNS: In car, or on motorcycle, must be unloaded, action open (4) If the firearm is at least twenty-four inches in overall length as measured from the muzzle to the part of the stock furthest from the muzzle and if the barrel is at least eighteen inches in length, either in plain sight with the action open or the weapon stripped, or, if the firearm is of a type on which the action will not stay open or which cannot easily be stripped, in plain sight.
