Truck gun

guns are unloaded in the trucks. Near sunset they are covered up n cases..... unless in a rare occasion that there are wolf/yote in the area at night ( yipping and you can see then ) then we have a 12ga out if they come into camp.

Never had an issue with CO or police. They understand northern life.
 
Yep. Location means a lot. And I'm in a small town. Just trying to get the legality of keeping a rifle shotgun in the truck 24 hrs. Don't want to answer why don't matter lol. So far I'm starting to think no it's not ok 24 hrs 365 days. Or maybe it is but not really.

Basically if you have a gun in your truck when you're not in it, it has to be out of sight. There's always one in my truck and when I'm in it, it lays across the back seat or passenger seat (if I'm alone). When I get to a store,gas station,etc, I shove it under the back seat. This is an F150 crew cab. As far as leaving it in there 24 hrs/overnight, it becomes a storage legality. Best to bring it into the house overnight.

I have decided to never use a trigger lock before early morning hunt. It’s impossible to read the numbers on the lock in the early morning. In BC, we can hunt one hour before sunrise.
I just pulled the bolt and put it in my pocket

In BC you don't even need to pull the bolt out of your rifle. Just has to be unloaded while in a vehicle. Sometimes you may leave the vehicle and begin hiking into a spot well before legal hunting hours. It's legal for you to exit your vehicle, load your rifle and start hiking.

So even if legal and following rules of transport and storage it seems up to the Leo. And that's fair. So to recap.. can I have a non restricted rifle in the truck 24 hrs. I think the answer is maybe

The answer is YES. As long as you comply with transport and storage laws.

+1, people seem to like making things more complicated than it needs to be.
 
Not sure what are the details up here, but i can tell you that there is a lot of people up here carrying firearms out of seasons all over the place, main reason, big bears! So I’m sure they keep them in there vehicle from time to time!!
Also up here as long as it is not loaded you are fine(I think they could fine you if it is not trigger locked, but never happened to me!
 
What's wrong with behind the seat, more accessible if you need it as well? :confused::confused: Driving with a visible firearm is asking for trouble in my simple mind.

That's where I keep it. The backseat is folded up . I use the floor area for tools backpack cooler. The rifle hangs from the head rest with a sling between the seat. Safe and tucked away. Just curious say I'm in an accident is it legal. I know the transport laws and the storage laws. I guess the question is can I store my rifle in the vehicle. I know it might rust. I keep it oiled. Also have a saw, ax, knife, tea, pot, first aid kit, blanket , mobile radio, phone, jack, shovel etc in the vehicle. Maybe I'm over thinking the legality
