Great idea. In my area its illegal to hunt from a vehicle on most roads. Even very rural roads, though.

Yeah. Around here, if a game warden or police officer saw a gun of any type hanging out your window, you'd be doomed. From some of my buddies stories, they wouldn't listen to any explanation.

Use same on my kitchen windowsill. Feeder duty and plinking.
Faciliates plinking from ur vehicle’s front seat too.

Wow...That's a good one. Also you can use the window to adjust elevation! illegal probably in most places, but so is speeding, drinking 1 beer and driving, jay walking, not registering your vehicle and many other things that most do daily. Oh well.

Yote- Not sure where you are, but here in the Ozarks, even with a .177 pellet gun the authorities will assume that you're poaching. I've had 2 friends who lost there powder burners when they were caught just spotting deer offseason with an unloaded gun from there trucks. One got his back eventually. The other lost a very expensive custom AR. Good luck.?

Key word powder burners. If you recall this is a air gun dose not have the same rules as a powder burner.If it was a powder burner you would be locked up loss of gun .

I definitely understand that, but poaching is poaching. They don't care if its a rock, or a spear or your bare teeth. Like a say, great idea.

Laws vary by state. We can now hunt with air rifles so the same laws for vehicle use apply. Thankfully they havent applied all the stupid (un)SAFE act laws to air rifles (yet). Conversations like this are a good thing. They bring issues like this out in the open. Of course if too many of use do this they may but age restrictions or even outright bans on pool noodles and duct tape.

Yote,
You may want to follow through a bit more on your research as to the legality. Not knowing the state your from there may be more to this than you have considered. From the read thus far you have mentioned the legality aspect from talking to a single highway patrol officer, who may or may not know all the law you referenced too. What about the other agencies, Fish & Game, or what ever name given by your state? They often have far out reaching hands in such matters and I would highly recommend contacting them.
As a mention, in my state, even leaning against a vehicle while shooting constitutes a violation. Perhaps your state has more relaxed laws in reference too, in that case lucky you.
Cheers
