..... it's (vehicle) not an "extension of your home" since it is looked at differently in the courts. But, it is contained in your property and is in fact legal without a permit.
I've never seen a statute containing specific language saying one's vehicle is "an extension of his home." BUT possession of a firearm in one's vehicle is considered to be a "constitutionally protected activity."
Louisiana Revised Statute 14:95.2 discusses the carrying//possession of firearms in Firearm Free Zones//school property.
This statute, which prohibits carrying on school property and/or in firearm free zones, contains eight exemptions, one of which is "Any constitutionally protected activity which cannot be regulated by the state, such as a firearm contained entirely within a motor vehicle."
This exemption, among others, is specifically listed in the La. State Police CHP "Laws & Administrative Rules" booklet. LINK

I've been pulled over twice in the US, once was to compliment me on my vehicle and the other time was cause I had a taillight out. When I had the taillight out, the LEO noticed a knife in my truck. He asked if I had any other weapons in my truck. I told him i wasnt sure, but he was more than welcome to check. He handed me back my license and said get my taillight fixed (no ticket). Had I not wanted him to check my vehicle, that would have been my right. I just wanted to speed things up and get back on the road.

I'm saying they are looked at differently in courts in general. Things you can do to protect yourself in your home are looked at differently than if you are in a vehicle, the biggest being mobility. You can't drive away in your house but have the ability to drive away in a car.
Not an exact court case but you get what I'm saying.
Thanks for clearing it up.
