We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Why open the tail gate? The gun can be in the cab with you. But, yes technically you should be outside of a vehicle when loading.

Everything that I have read here is a the way it has been explained to me several times in the past regarding transporting a firearm.
Here is my question. If I'm open carrying and about to get into my car, I need to unload prior to entering my vehicle (remove magazine and clear chamber). Now what if I take my pistol from the holster on my hip, unloaded, and then place it in a seperate holstered (or the same holster if you prefer) on the dash of the vehicle, it would be unloaded and in plain sight. My vehicle has an indent on the dash to stop items from moving around, or if you really wanted you could fasten a holster to your dash somehow.
What are your thoughts on this? It leaves the firearm readily accessable and you could have the magazine closeby.

I think that the significant operative word for vehicle carry is 'encased' meaning for me 'boxed'. I have the original blow molded shipping boxes for my carry guns.

I am no expert mug but I think the gun must be encased, unloaded and out of reach in order to avoid any problems with a gun in a vehicle. If I am wrong, someone will correct me.

Encased and unloaded. I believe "out of reach" is a mythical requirement with no legal basis in Wisconsin.

Shotgun, you right, me wrong,
The statute says only unloaded and encased and says not a word about being out of reach.

The mythical "out of reach thing" comes from the 3-prong test for concealed carry:
1. The weapon is within reach
2.The persons is aware of its presence
3.The weapon is hidden.
The trunk carry ideas is intended to eliminate the #1.
Bottom line, for doing many things in wisconsin the law for propery having a gun in a gun-free or restricted zone is "unloaded" and "encased" ONLY. This applies in state parks and school zones (both can be bypassed with DNR and police permission, respectively) and car.
But have it unloaded an encased and you are fine. If you are in a bad situation, loading and placing the gun on the dash now unconceals it (but you may be fined 100 for the improper car carry).
