depend where you live (your local gun laws)
I think if you are worried about a fine for a LOADED GUN, don't have a loaded gun in your car. Keep the ammo seprate from it, and if needed, you can reload it.
If you have a permit, then it would be fine, but if not, it would be illegal to have in your possession, and most likely would be fined for the gun.
The answer is a loaded gun
Federal prison time, fine.
A round is loaded into a gun. The gun is then cocked and then fired.
Requires a concealed carry permit to do this.
As long as you do not have it loaded and have it in your trunk in a container, you can transport it anywhere.
If you have a concealed weapon's permit, you may put your gun anywhere in your vehicle, or in your person loaded or unloaded, unless you are in school property. If you do not have a concealed weapon's permit, you may not have it on you, and you may not hide the gun anywhere in your car unless it is unloaded. You may, however, have the gun loaded in your car if it is in plain view. You also cannot have a gun present (loaded or unloaded) in school property.
That largely depends on why cops are in your house in the first place. If you are arrested for something, a loaded gun can be used to bring heavier charges against you. In some jurisdictions (Washington, DC, for instance) the possession of a gun is itself a crime. In most of US keeping a loaded gun is not a problem, unless a minor has access to it. Many people do it for defending against break-ins.

It depends on what you mean. If you mean can a person carry a handgun loaded and accessible in their vehicle solely because he is in the military, the answer is no. A person can only carry a handgun loaded and accessible in their vehicle if they otherwise qualify to do so. Each state sets its own laws regarding that. Some states require a permit to have a loaded gun in your car, some states don't.
Having a magazine in a firearm can mean that the firearm is loaded, and ready for use (if a cartridge has been chambered). If it is not loaded, it takes longer to put it in a condition that it can be fired.
