if it's up to the game wardens's opinion, then anything may or may not be illegal. it ain't wise to haul around a loaded rifle in your truck. but if there isn't a live round in the barrel, and you've confirmed that, i don't see where it's a problem. colorado has a no loaded rifle in the truck policy. but they are real bad about not explaining that "loaded" means loaded in the barrel. the magazine can be runnin' over and you're still legal. back in the 50's or 60's, Az. had a no loaded weapon in the truck law. there were so many accidents by guys seeing a warden and their gun going off while hurridly trying to unload it, that they took it off the books. if you're dumb enough to trust a safety in the truck, then it's natural selection at it's finest. sooner or later you're gonna have a real sad thing happen. but i still really disagree with this "it's up to the warden" bs. laws are pretty specific.
