I was wondering if you guys have ever heard of this "law". I was told by somebody today that in order for me to have my firearm legally allowed to be in my vehicle with me in it was to separate the magazine and the pistol itself while I am operating the vehicle. For example: The magazine in the glove box and the pistol in the back of the vehicle while I'm in the driver seat. I can honestly say that I have never heard of this before.
You can legally carry a pistol, loaded or unloaded, concealed or open in your car in Colorado. There is no "law" stating the above in Colorado.
The only restriction to firearms in vehicles is that long guns / shotguns and muzzle loaders must be 'unloaded', and you must not be a prohibited person.

LOOK I followed rule 5!! hehe
Tell that person to read THIS 'law'.. it's the real one..
CRS 33-6-125
"It is unlawful for any person, except a person authorized by law or by order of the division, to possess or have under his control any firearm,
OTHER THAN A PISTOL OR REVOLVER, in or on a motor vehicle unless the chamber of the firearm is unloaded."
This goes on and states an officer can inspect the chamber of a shotgun or rifle in a motor vehicle..
Others CRS citations:
CRS 18-12-105 (states you can conceal in car / home without permit)
CRS 18-12-105.6 (limitation of local ordinances preventing carry in car)
