I have been worried about road blockages and then shootings of stranded drivers from ISIS or BLM, not that there is much difference. I have put a trunk gun back in my car. It is an AK-47 with a cloth grocery bag of loaded magazines of 30 and 40 round capacity. The state law is vague on what the illegal carrying of a loaded long gun in a vehicle is. It could be mag in gun, but no round chambered or it may mean no loaded mag in gun. I play it safe and have no mag in the gun. It is so fast to load and I have a CCW for a pistol to fight my way to a rifle. I really hopr it does not get out of hand, but fear that Zer0 and the left is trying to start a race war.
can anybody tell me if its illegal to have a gun in your car?
Colorado Revised Statute 33-6-125. Possession of a loaded firearm in a motor vehicleIt is unlawful for any person, except a person authorized by law or by the division, to possess or have under his control any firearm, other than a pistol or revolver, in or on any motor vehicle unless the chamber of such firearm is unloaded. Any person in possession or in control of a rifle or shotgun in a motor vehicle shall allow any peace officer, as defined in section 33-1-102 (32), who is empowered and acting under the authority granted in section 33-6-101 to enforce articles 1 to 6 of this title to inspect the chamber of any rifle or shotgun in the motor vehicle. For the purposes of this section, a "muzzle-loader" shall be considered unloaded if it is not primed, and, for such purpose, "primed" means having a percussion cap on the nipple or flint in the striker and powder in the flash pan. Any person who violates this section is guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction thereof, shall be punished by a fine of fifty dollars and an assessment of fifteen license suspension points.
Note that in Colorado state laws about firearms cannot be preempted by local ordinance, although Denver doesn't seem to feel it applies to them.
