Transporting firearms to and from range

[ROON]

This is unfortunately typical of the misinformation going around that has no basis in OK law. People coming into CHL classes will actually sit and argue even with the text of the statute in front of them.
1. There is no restriction how you carry the ammunition when it is not in the gun. You can pile the front seat with boxes of ammo if you want.
2. DO NOT hide the gun behind/under the seat, because it is illegal in OK to conceal the gun in the passenger compartment, loaded or unloaded. Either the gun or the case containing it must be wholly or partially visible.

3. The CHL exempts the holder from 2 prohibitions: CONCEALING the handgun, and LOADING the gun(magazine only for long guns).

What about someone without a CHL having the magazine loaded but out of the gun on a rifle?

TITLE 21 § 1289.7. Firearms in vehicles

FIREARMS IN VEHICLES

Any person, except a convicted felon, may transport in a motor vehicle a rifle, shotgun or pistol, open and unloaded, at any time. For purposes of this section “open” means the firearm is transported in plain view, in a case designed for carrying firearms, which case is wholly or partially visible, in a gun rack mounted in the vehicle, in an exterior locked compartment or a trunk of a vehicle.

Any person, except a convicted felon, may transport in a motor vehicle a rifle or shotgun concealed behind a seat of the vehicle or within the interior of the vehicle provided the rifle or shotgun is not clip, magazine or chamber loaded. The authority to transport a clip or magazine loaded rifle or shotgun shall be pursuant to Section 1289.13 of this title.



TITLE 21 § 1289.13. Transporting a loaded firearm

TRANSPORTING A LOADED FIREARM

Except as otherwise provided by the provisions of the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act or another provision of law, it shall be unlawful to transport a loaded pistol, rifle or shotgun in a land borne motor vehicle over a public highway or roadway. However, a rifle or shotgun may be transported clip or magazine loaded and not chamber loaded when transported in an exterior locked compartment of the vehicle or trunk of the vehicle or in the interior compartment of the vehicle notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1289.7 of this title when the person is in possession of a valid handgun license pursuant to the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act.

I know these things change all the time but I remember it use to say could transport to and from range, hunting, or to sale. So now its anytime as long as in the open and unloaded?
