Can you give me a link or where I can find this? Thank You. admins@handgunlaw.us

I am unaware of any such restriction. However, you are not permitted to hunt with a center fire rifle during deer season without a deer permit. This is a NGPC regulation. I'm not aware of a state statute correlating to the regulation.

Gary,
While there is no exact law against it, it could prove to be a problem. It could be looked at as if you can't legally hunt anything with a deer capable centerfire during this time, then why would you need to have a loaded rifle meeting the definition of deer capable in your vehicle ?
One could supposedly say self defense, but it doesn't really sound plausible as pulling a rifle from the passenger seat to defend against a threat isn't very logical now is it.
So depending on your location and time of year a GW/ LEO could presumably believe that you are poaching. Especially since you have no logical reason to be driving around with a loaded deer capable weapon in your possession. You may/ or may not be hunting, but that doesn't mean that they can't mess with you if you pizz them off by spouting constitution and such.
Now, with that being said it may be that in Lincoln you could be cited under this ordinance -
IN A VEHICLE—
When transporting a weapon in a vehicle it is considered a concealed weapon when it is concealed in a manner readily accessible to the driver or passenger
of the vehicle. The firearm must be unloaded, and neither the firearm nor any ammunition being transported is readily accessible or is directly accessible from the driver/passenger compartment of such transporting vehicle.
It shall be unlawful for any person to keep a firearm in an unattended motor vehicle for a period in excess of 24 hours. This provision shall not apply to members of the Armed Forces or duly authorized law enforcement officer, nor shall it apply to vehicles containing firearms that are parked in locked enclosures or buildings, such as garages or other storage facilities.
