I believe it has to return to the senate for concurrence, because it was amended in the house.Its on its way to be signed by the governor.

Yes, covers motor vehicle, OHRV, snowmobile, or aircraft and amends RSA 207:7, II-IVI assume that means ATVs as well?
Finally we have a definition of loaded in state law, I'm not going to worry about nitpicking it to death because of the word "fully" or to protect the five people who bought a Taurus/Rossi Circuit Judge"loaded" means "a round or projectile in the chamber fully dischargeable by pulling the trigger". So... single action, safety off? Or does having to take a step other than pulling the trigger (like disengaging the safety) not count? What about a revolver rifle like the double action Taurus carbines?
That reference points to The State of New Hampshire v. Oriol Dor, but I don't see fully dischargeable by pulling the trigger in any related online documents.senatoravard.com said:The definition we have here for a loaded firearm comes from the latest court case where the court ruled a loaded firearm one having “a round in the chamber fully dischargeable by pulling the trigger”. (9th Circuit Court – Manchester District Division, Opinion No. 2012-823)
Does Utah define "air rifle" to include airsoft pistols, and ban carrying them "loaded" in/on vehicles?In some ways this is an expansion of the Utah code

Better then it was before.
