Nope.

"This part" is the entire weapons law section.

I'm about 90% positive on this ...

Long Guns WITHOUT a HCP must be unloaded and ammo kept separate from the firearm.

VALID HCP holders can carry loaded long guns as long as there isn't a round chambered.

There's still a 10% chance I'm wrong :) LoL

You should be 100 percent confident with this answer as this is what the new tca allows. With a permit you can carry long guns with rounds in the mag or mag tube but not in the chamber.

There is a lot of misinformation out there as well as rumors. This is causing all kinds of confusion for a lot people including LE.

I overheard a customer asking a dealer about a self defense shotgun for his car. The dealer told the potential customer that the shotgun he was asking about could be in his vehicle. The dealer then told the customer he could even have it loaded. I told the dealer it could not have a round chambered and even then the customer had to have a HCP to have it in his vehicle. The dealer told the customer that a "new" law lets anyone carry anything they want in any condition they want as long as it is inside the vehicle, even without a HCP. I tried to explain to the dealer he was wrong but he said he was the dealer so he knew the laws and I didn't because I was just a customer.

BTW, this is the same dealer that at a previous show was selling Charger barrels and stocks for use on 10/22 rifles. He was telling customers it was legal to put the Charger stocks and barrels on their 10/22's to make them into pistols. I explained the once a rifle, always a rifle rule and a 10/22 is a rifle. He said that didn't matter because of the Thompson Center Contenders can do it so all guns can. I told him putting a barrel less than 16" on a 10/22 required SBR registration. He said if you put the Charger stock on it at the same time then it was perfectly legal.

I try to explain and help people out with the laws I know. In most cases people don't want to hear anything different than what they have already been told.
