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.

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.

Sorry, it took me a second to quote the relevant statutes. I don't really see any room for interpretation, it's fairly black letter law.

Keep in mind, 1289.7 is a non-exclusive list. It is just an affirmative defense statute, meaning it gives you some ways that are affirmatively legal to transport. It doesn't say that any other way is illegal. Any other way of transporting an unloaded gun is also legal as long as it doesn't involve concealing the firearm on or about your person. The rub is with what constitutes "about the person." It isn't sufficiently interpreted by courts to give a clear answer. I would say if it is concealed and is anywhere in the car you could easily reach from where you are sitting, other than one of the affirmatively legal places, it will likely be interpreted as violating the concealed weapon statute. The safest way is just to stick with 1289.7. But if you had an unloaded pistol concealed in a cardboard box in the back of an SUV for instance, with you sitting in the driver's seat, I don't think you would run into any problems either.
