Just to keep it going, would you keep a loaded crossbow in the truck, if so, why
Can you have a loaded gun (pistol / rifle / shotgun / other firearm) in your vehicle: Yes.
Should you have a loaded long-gun in your car: Probably not.
Why? Rifles are unwieldy in a car. Pistols are much better. But you probably shouldn't be shooting and driving anyway whenever you can drive away from most situations. A rifle would be better than a pistol if you are having to get out of the vehicle (in most cases). I would argue that 30 rounds aren't much worse than 31 and chambering a round upon grabbing the rifle isn't much of a problem. If it is, well you are probably screwed anyway.
Note: I didn't say that a pistol shouldn't be chambered and ready to go. So don't throw that stick in my direction.

I keep a Colt M4 locked up inside my vehicle. It's secured even if the vehicle isn't for some reason. Due to space constraints, it's not secured with the mag inserted, but the 2-odd seconds to load a carbine shouldn't matter in any situation a carbine would be required.

Pretty sure you boy's in and around B.R. may want to reconsider after the shooting in Dallas, Never know when you'll get caught out in the open and need to assist an LEO, I anticipate a copy cat ambush.
I make the commute to the NOLA area. You better believe my carbine is riding today.

+10,000 You sir know how to plan ahead!
Its like this: I'm a cautous person, I don't expect trouble, I avoid "dangerious" areas and typically avoid crowded places. This is on any normal day, but when things are tense and we have seen multiple attacks on civilian targets here and abroad in the previous few weeks. And a mass of people hell bent one being "useful idiots" I gear up. Pray for the best and be prepared to defend life and liberty if I happen to be so unlucky. You know winning the lottery has embarasingly long odds but every now and then I buy a ticket.

1) No - but I can bring mine into work, Not every one has the luxury. If things are so bad I need to carry a rifle I am not hanging out in places or I am responding to a specific event usually preceded by a phone call.
2) No - I have a bag with a strap and handles.
3) You didn't ask but I do wear a Glock hat and a Glock 81
Any body that took what I said about earlier to mean don't be prepared and don't carry a loaded weapon with a round in the chamber ever is not very good at reading comprehension. As many here understand there is a time and place to do so. Consider it a protocol if you will.
Yeah and I went ahead and put on my jump boots and my boonie hat both in mulitcam this morning.
Crap that reminds me I forgot my kneepads.

I guess everyone here lives in or around the city. Not all of us do. I live on the outskirts and spend a lot of time in the country.
Rifles carried in vehicles was extremely common not that long ago and still is in a lot of areas. Whether it be to dispatch a varmint or defend ones self, there are plenty of reasons for carrying a loaded rifle in your vehicle.
To all those, "I don't carry loaded because it only takes 2 seconds blah blah blah"...do you carry you SD pistol unloaded? If not, why do you carry one in the chamber?

Covered it several times on the SD pistol. Big difference between having a pistol on you and getting out of your car going to the trunk and getting a rifle.
Basic as it gets: Never chamber a round without a reason.
So you shoot yotes from the truck on the road?

My 2 black rifles are on the backseat in my truck in a case. Dont have one in the chamber, but full mag in them both. On the other hand, the .45 pistol, judge, and 9mm are all loaded to the T. Going to the camp after work to make sure everything is sighted in and shooting well. I dont ever not have a loaded pistol on me/with me, most of the time I dont have rifles loaded in the pipe unless im on my property working or what not, but they are all loaded in the mags.
Not today . And I hope that wasn't an offer .

As for a loaded+chambered rifle (safety on) in a vehicle I have when traveling long distances with my faimly. I don't know if it would have been useless for me to get to etc but it put me more at ease when traveling threw certain places. Thats not including the 2 pistols/spare mags (one on me and one for my wife).
In the past before I was able to purchase my current firearms I use to travel with a .22 pistol and felt safer that way as well now I am able to be over prepared.
