Loaded Mossberg Shockwave in Vehicle

[Roy14]

Does anyone know the legality of a Mossberg Shockwave, loaded, in the vehicle? I’m planning on buying one, mainly for the trade off of how stow-able it is in the truck along with it’s ability to kill snakes, which I have a surplus of on the farm this year. Has anyone researched or been informed on where it stands?

I would be curious as well.

They are not legal on a state level in Okieland.
Most officers probably aren’t that familiar with the specific laws regarding them... but if you ever had to use it for self defense, that isn’t a position I’d want to be in to try and explain to a DA.
If you haven’t shot one before, you may want to before you buy one for regular use for snake slaying. I would opt for a 18.5 mossberg 500 with a folding stock so you don’t have to worry about it, and you can have an actual pistol grip.
Ymmv.

They are not legal at all, or legal for carry/carry in vehicle?

Not legal period according to our state law.
There’s a thread on here somewhere that goes into the details.
It sucks, but I don’t truly know how much it’d be enforced.

I got rid of mine for this very issue.

 

[Roy14]

Well, this is disappointing. I had my sights set on one, but now can’t do it on the chance occurrence of an issue.

Two issues here, the firearm and the carry condition.

OK law has two different definitions related to "Loaded". Chamber loaded, not okay. "Clip or Magazine loaded", okay with a permit.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe someone on here a few years back said the same exact thing about the Judge and Governor. They fall under the same rules, no? Roy, do you have a carry permit? IIRC, that changes things about leaving a shotgun in the car.
