Shotgun in vehicle

[crackhead]

I cant find any laws on keeping a shotgun in my car in the state of ohio. I would like to keep it loaded but if you can find any laws pertaining to carrying a shotgun in your car it would be helpful.

With a name like "crackhead," I'm not too sure anyone will help with firearms possession.

csmkersh, what are you trying to say? Crack and guns go hand-in-hand. From what I've seen at various ranges, you can't be a respected shooter without it.

Don't know about Ohio, but it's legal in Colorado as long as there's NO round in the chamber.

crackhead,shotgun and rifle vehicle transport in Ohio is limited to a firearm that is unloaded and in plain view with its action open.Licensed carry in Ohio does not apply to long guns.
The firearm may also be secured in a gun rack that is visible from outside the vehicle or in a closed commercial gun case.
Unloaded in the trunk is also OK.
Ohio law defines a firearm as being "loaded" if ammo is "ready at hand."A loaded detachable mag ,even if not inserted into a firearm could make the nearest firearm qualify as a "loaded weapon''.
Such mags should only be carried in the trunk or an inaccessible compartment away from any guns.
That was easy,right?
Buckeye's or other folks please correct if any errors.

Hate to hi-jack the thread, but I felt it was the right place to ask. What is the law for long guns in vehicles in West Virginia?
