I seem to recall that the law in question only applied to when the
gun was not in the owners immediate possession, i.e. in your
holster. So assuming you have a carry permit, it would be in your
holster while your in your vehicle. If it was stolen from the glove
compartment of your locked vehicle, it would still fall under the
breaking and entering type exception. Having it further locked is
certainly a good idea of course.

The law actually required trigger guards and lock boxes, with the
ammunition secured in a seperate location to the weapons

Bummer. A new law in Texas allows anyone to carry a handgun in their
automobile - well, almost anyone - without a permit. No restrictions on
being loaded, locked up, or whatever.

Louisiana has a very sane law: In the pelican state, your automobile is
considered an extension of your home as far as weapons are concerned.
Anything you can do with a weapon in your house, you can do in your car.
