My .02 - just be careful during deer season with a long gun in the vehicle. GW will not like it if they catch wind of one being in there. I always keep ammo separate from the long guns while going hunting, just to be safe.

Isn't the inside of your personal vehicle considered personal property?

If so, wouldn't you then be OK so long as the gun doesnt come out of your vehicle within the 1000' perimiter?

It isn't as far as a loaded handgun without a LTCH is concerned. Not sure this would be any different.
