I pulled this from another thread. While you might not go to jail because it is unenforceable, you may have to go through a lot of hassle and expense to prove that point:

There may be cities or towns that have ordinances against carrying of loaded guns in the city limits. I think San Antonio, Texas is one of those with ordinances banning loaded long guns in the city limits. Below is the city code regarding carrying loaded firearms and knives in San Antonio from http://www.municode.com/resources/gatew ... 508&sid=43
--------------------
Sec. 21-16. Carrying loaded rifle or shotgun.
It shall be unlawful for any person, other than duly authorized peace officers, to carry a loaded rifle or shotgun on any public street within the city or in a motor vehicle while the same is being operated on any public street within the city.
(Code 1959, § 26-28)
Cross references: Regulation of firearms and weapons, § 21-151 et seq.

Re: Rifle/Shotgun carry in car - Plain view or concealed?
You might want to be careful about certain cities however. I understand San Antonio has an ordinance prohibiting the carry in your car of a LOADED long gun. Someone in San Antonio can probably address this better than I.
