It is unlawful for any person, except a person authorized by law or by the state division of wildlife, to possess or have under that person's control any firearm, other than a pistol or revolver, in or on any motor vehicle unless the chamber of such firearm is unloaded. Any person in possession or in control of a rifle or shotgun in or on a motor vehicle shall allow any peace officer to inspect the chamber of any rifle or shotgun in or on the motor vehicle. For the purposes of this section, a muzzleloader shall be considered unloaded if it is not primed and, for such purpose, the term "primed" means having a percussion cap on the nipple or flint in the striker and powder in the flash pan. (Code 1979, § 27-120; Ord. No. 2010-24, § 6, 7-12-2010)
