Well I guess I should have used the word transport. I was referring to carrying it in your car as carrying, sorry for the confusion. Openly transporting would have been better.

He is talking about open carrying a long gun. Yes, with a CCW permit not only can you carry in any condition you want as long as its concealed, but you can also transport a long gun as long as there is not one in the tube.

I stand corrected. Good information to know. Learning something new is always a good thing.
