Is it legal to have a loaded rifle in your vehicle?

**brokenscout** · 05-22-2012, 08:57

I was told No?

**airborneranger** · 05-22-2012, 08:58

That is correct - from what I have been told as well.

**Lex_Luthor** · 05-22-2012, 08:58

I'm pretty sure no. But someone can come along with better knowledge than me.

I believe Colorado's definition of loaded is chambered.

loaded handgun -- yes
loaded longgun -- no

From what I understand this is correct. You are allowed to have rounds in the magazine, but not chambered. Shotguns fall under same rules.

Loaded mag inserted is ok, but not in the chamber. IIRC...

Correct, but I wouldn't count on LE knowing this.
