No, it is NOT illegal to keep a loaded weapon of any sort in your car. The only restriction is “NO CHAMBERED ROUND” in a rifle or shotgun. That’s in the Colorado Revised Statues.

You will have to explain that to the Department of Wildlife not me.

According to the Department of Wildlife, to whom you're referring it is unlawful to:

Have a loaded (having a round in the chamber) rifle or shotgun in or on a motor vehicle. ('Motor vehicle' includes motorcycles and ATVs.) Similarly, muzzleloading rifles cannot be primed (cannot have a percussion cap on the nipple or powder in the flashpan) while in or on a motor vehicle.

JUST as I stated, it is NOT illegal to have a rifle in your car, loaded.

They consider "loaded" to be a rifle with a round chambered. Period. Not with bullets in the magazine, tube or other loading device. Sorry, you're wrong.
