Firearms While Off Roading

Could you have an unloaded rifle in the vehicle and loaded mag not in the rifle?

Absolutely. The Law prohibits having the ammo attached to the firearm in a manner ready to be fired. Basically in the gun. If I carry a long gun with me it will probably be in an unlocked case and unloaded, but with loaded mags in the side pockets on the out side of the case. Some will have ammo pouches attached to the buttstock holding extra mags, or en blocs. Depending on the rifle.

Hundreds of Asian and Mexican DTO controlled illegal grows in that area, many protected by armed security and/or booby traps. You don't want to run into these folks either... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNo0uVzzSYc

About a year ago, a guy in my town was off-roading with his son in their new Jeep. Someone approached them to “ask for directions” and shot and killed the dad. Son ran into the woods to avoid being killed, and somehow managed to escape and eventually hike his way out to safety.

That said, I NEVER go off-roading alone, we stay on relatively heavily traveled marked Jeep trails, and I never go without protection.

Yup! ^^^ My shoulder holster comes out of the safe and dust gets taken off when we go offroading. only time I shoulder carry. But, as others have mentioned stay protected. Not saying a shoulder carry is for you (CCW or not, etc). But I wouldnt go unprotected.

Prior to my CCW I carried a gun case with an internal lock built in - and I had the ammo/magazine elsewhere, but very close by. "LOCKED UP".
