"Thus, by reading this law, I don't believe merely unloaded, and not locked, is sufficient in most cases."

There has to be more. For instance, transporting to and from a gun store. If you didn't have a LTCF how could you ever buy a gun and bring it home? Also, taking it to and from an armorer for repair, upgrade etc... How could you ever legally transport it to get it repaired if you didn't have an LTCF?

Here's the full text of the LTCF law. I think your examples are all encompassed in this exception:

(8) Any person while carrying a firearm which is not loaded and is in a secure wrapper from the place of purchase to his home or place of business, or to a place of repair, sale or appraisal or back to his home or place of business, or in moving from one place of abode or business to another or from his home to a vacation or recreational home or dwelling or back, or to recover stolen property under section 6111.1(b)(4) (relating to Pennsylvania State Police), or to a place of instruction intended to teach the safe handling, use or maintenance of firearms or back or to a location to which the person has been directed to relinquish firearms under 23 Pa.C.S. § 6108 (relating to relief) or back upon return of the relinquished firearm or to a licensed dealer's place of business for relinquishment pursuant to 23 Pa.C.S § 6108.2 (relating to relinquishment for consignment sale, lawful transfer or safekeeping) or back upon return of the relinquished firearm or to a location for safekeeping pursuant to 23 Pa.C.S. § 6108.3 (relating to relinquishment to third party for safekeeping) or back upon return of the relinquished firearm.

I left this exception out because it said "in a secure wrapper," which I took to mean a locked case. It may not be.
