Being in your range bag does not count as "unloaded and securely wrapped."
Just unload it. Put it in the gun case it came in, or wrap it protectively and lock it in a tool boxor some other secure-able container.
The reference to a locked console was a case where I'll just bet thegun was loaded and ready for use, locked in the console,and the defendant was trying to wiggle outof it by saying that since it wasn't in his pockets it wasn't on or about his person.
