Do you have any idea on the logic behind the ban?

Not legal in Washington State either. Something to do with un-attended gun in vehicle.
It is illegal to lay a loaded shotgun on your endgate of your truck also when out plinking.

JBrown,in Wisconsin,it is illegal to have a firearm TOUCH any part of a vehicle unless it is unloaded and in a closed case that is specifically designed to carry said firearm.If you were to only lean a gun against a vehicle,or worse,place an uncased gun in the vehicle,loaded or not,the authorities could confiscate it.Not that they actually would,but they might.More likely a warning,possibly a ticket,very possibly a ticket during deer gun season.The DNR(Dept.of No Results)wardens in Wis.have .in my experience.absolutly no common sense or sense of humor.This cool gun holder would not fly in this state.Might seem pretty strict to you,but I grew up with this rule.It's no big deal to me.I simply do not lean a gun against a vehicle.This reply is a little long winded,I know,but the logic behind the law,IMHO,is generate revenue through forfitures.More tickets= more money.

Ran into someone out fishing. He had a hole in the cab of the pickup truck, just behind his head-rest. Loaded lever gun in the window rack. He hit a bump and it discharged. "It was really loud too!" Dumbass.

That can't be right. There is nothing about this product that is illegal. There may be a law about loaded weapons left unattended in vehicles, but possession and use of a device like this has nothing to do with such an action. Please quote the actual regulation if you believe it to be so.

This looks like the perfect device to keep it from touching!

Here's the deal.

In california the vehicle code says if a firearm is in, on or in contact with a vehicle it is the same as if it in the back seat.
The only way this is legal in california is if the firearm is unloaded.

It's the same as having a shot gun with a shell patch on the stock even though it's unloaded Penal code say if the ammunition is in contact with the firearm it is loaded.

I know dumb ass laws

These are great I don't know how many times I've seen my dogs and others knock over guns that were leaning on the truck.

Not legal in Michigan either.

I recall a story from a few years back. It was supposed to take place NE Wisconsin A couple of guys were coming out of the woods during deer season. A nice young Warden pulled up and waited at their truck. After checking licenses he tried to pull off and discovered he was stuck in the snow. The guys leaned their rifles against their truck and went to push the nice Warden out. The nice young warden let them push him out...and he wrote them a ticket for a firearm against the vehicle.

Went Coyote hunting couple weeks ago. Game warden pulled up and asked for our permits. My friend leaned his unloaded rifle on truck. WRONG! Cost him a day lost at work 'cause he had to go to court and $250. In michigan ANY firearm cannot be in contact w/ a vehicle unless is it is 100% cased!!!

In theory, If it's in this rest it's NOT touching the vehicle.

I thought it was ileagal in Pa. as well. The reason for the law was the accidental discharges attributed to drivers pulling away with out knowing a gun was leaning against the vehicle. (Hunters Safety Course 1967)
