Can I carry loaded gun in my Camper?
I've heard its considered a 2nd home & being its a truck camper I have no access to the guns without parking & unlocking the back door & climbing to get them.

I agree with NYCSTEVE:
it should be seen as cargo being loaded into the bed of the truck.
Yet in Ca.
If you have a mounted camper or shell on the bed of your truck its does remove the commercial value of the truck & takes away your commercial plates & weight fee's & then either way should still be considered non-commercial cargo?
Nor should a TC be considered a Motor vehicle, being the camper is as a trailer & not accessible from the divers compartment.
You would have to park the rig & get out of the cab & then walk back & open a additional door to a different area to access your weapons & unlike a class A or B MH that allows you to park & then walk back to your weapon or have your passenger hand you the weapon.
I have no problem keeping the ammo unloaded & in a different cupboard or whatever in the camper while I travel, but while boondocking, I would prefer to load it.
So are you saying that if I'm in my camper set up for the night & then load my shotgun with a few round & place it in my draw next to my bed its ok?
Whats to stop me from getting in the rig & driving at that point?
There must be a limit line?
Such as I have always heard if your drunk & get in your car to sleep it off, you can get a DUI because you had the keys on you & that showed intent to drive & so BOOM BUSTED!
So I remember when I was young I popped the hood & put my keys in the airfilter & closed the hood while I slept in the car to avoid the possible DUI.
Never got to test that theory to see how the law read it, but i felt it showed I did not plan to drive at that point?
