I spent a while searching on this, but none of the answers seemed specific to this situation...

So if I buy a rifle and would like to avoid freaking out the neighbors while carrying it in and out of the house, I put it in some kind of case, right? If I do that, what do I need to do to make sure I'm not running afoul of concealed weapon laws?

I see the law that says it must be unloaded in a vehicle, so I'll be keeping it unloaded all the time, but is that enough to avoid getting in trouble while on foot? Or do I need to just carry the thing in the open and freak out the Boulderites just to avoid the issue?

Is there any place that spells out the specifics of the law for this situation?
