And idaho is a right to carry state so no need to worry about having a few other weapons hidden in the rig with rounds in the mag is legal also:dunno: It appears that is true with a concealed weapons license, but not necessarily otherwise.
May I carry a firearm in my vehicle without a concealed weapons license?
A person does not have to have a concealed weapons license to carry or be in possession of a deadly weapon or firearm in the following circumstances:
a.Any deadly weapon located in plain view;
b.Any lawfully possessed shotgun or rifle;
c.A firearm that is not loaded and is concealed in a motor vehicle;
d.A firearm that is not loaded and is secured in a case;
e.A firearm that is disassembled or permanently altered such that it is not readily operable; and
f.A concealed handgun by a person who is:
i.Over twenty-one (21) years of age;
ii.A resident of Idaho; and
iii.Is not disqualified from being issued a license under subsection (11) of this section.
A person who does have a concealed weapons license may carry a deadly weapon or firearm concealed and loaded in a vehicle.

Just another example of a state with freedom...
Not sure that I'd want that freedom with rifles in the car. As you know, most hunting incidents happen getting in and out of vehicles.

Yeah it happens here still. Just be smart, its not worth blowing a hole in your foot jumping out of a truck to save a second throwing a round in the chamber.

Yeah, this is one of those things that I feel common sense should play a significant role. Is it really worth it to have a loaded rifle sitting next to you and the possible accidental discharge that comes along with that? Just keep a handful of shells in your pocket. You should be able to chamber a shell as your stepping out of a vehicle and not miss a beat.
Just my :twocents: err on the side of caution.

Just heard one yesterday. Gun can not weigh more than 16 lbs.

Is that for any game or just deer and elk? What's the purpose of a weight limit?

Bob, what's the purpose of the restriction? They trying to prevent hernias or what? It may sound like a stupid question, but my 45" 6.5mm Grendel is 21 lbs and a perfect fixed position big game rifle. What's the thinking behind this?Discourage extreme long range shooting/sniping :dunno:?

I don't know that's its necessarily to discourage but it is there to limit the equipment of long range gear such as piano man is describing. or anti aircraft guns, this is Idaho after all and there's some serious equipment in some of these guys safes.

I can only speculate that from an ethical perspective, allowing hunters to use 30+ pound rifles like a Barrett 50 caliber would be consider something other than "fair chase".

I guess that makes sense, in a very arbitrary sort of way. I mean there are plenty of 1K yard guns that weigh well under 16 lbs nowadays. Mine is only as accurate as the old fart's eyes who shoots it, so about 300 yards max.

The SSK .950 JDJ is essentially a shoulder-mounted cannon that fires mini mortar shells at 254,000 ft.-lbs. of muzzle energy. The bullet is capable of travelling at 2,100 feet per second and generates 2,777 ft.-lbs. of of recoil energy. The .950 JDJ is so powerful that a shooter that fires the mighty rifle will experience just as much kick as firing ten .30-6 rifles at the same time.
SSK Industries has created only three rifles that can fire a .950 caliber round. The prototype seen in the YouTube video weighs just 50 pounds, the lightest of the three guns. The other two rifles weigh approximately 110 pounds each.
