Nope you are welcome to call an attorney it is illegal to carry a rifle with a round in the chamber period. It has nothing to do with DOW I simply stated that you can get a permit to do so if your disabled and hunting.
This is a direct quote from a lawyer.
You are welcome to contact him for further clarification as I am sure he could explain it much better than me."You may be a bit confused about what you call the Vehicle Carry Law. Colorado law makes it illegal to carry a loaded (round in the chamber) LONG GUN (rifle or shotgun) in a motor vehicle. The law does not apply to handguns, which may be carried loaded in motor vehicles provided all other applicable laws are observed.
