They are idiots,

RS 14 Sec 95
A. Illegal carrying of weapons is:
(1) The intentional concealment of any firearm, or other instrumentality customarily used or intended for probable use as a dangerous weapon, on one's person;
On one’s person is the key word. Glove box, under the seat or in the center console isnt his person, so he’s good to go as long as its not hidden inside his waistband or jacket (unless he has a CCP)

Pretty sure you can have it in wasitband or jacket if you're inside of vehicle without a ccp. As long as you're not pointing it at people you can do whatever the frick you want with it inside your vehicle.

Maybe but I wouldn’t wanna test my luck with legal interpretations. If I have mine in the truck with me, its either in my center console or in an open carry holster

A car in LA is a constitutionally protected area, not a extension of your home. There are many things law enforcement can do with your car that does not apply to your home. For example searching your home requires your permission, or a search warrant, searching your car only requires your permission or probable cause.

My concealed carry class went over having a gun in your vehicle and didn’t mention anything about it.
Always thought your vehicle was like an extension of your home. Do or keep whatever you want in it unless you park inside of a plant or something.

You can carry a firearm loaded or unloaded in your vehicle. In layman's terms it is considered an extension of your home in La. It can be concealed anywhere in the car or on your person while you are in the vehicle. Once you step out of that vehicle you need the CC permit or it has to be in plain view as La. is also an open carry state. As for the search of your vehicle, there are instances where it can be searched on probable cause alone, just like your home, otherwise just like your home they would need permission or a warrant to search but we are getting into a much more detailed discussion.
As for pointing to a statue he has that confused, statues are written to regulate activity so they are only restrictive, it is the absence of any statue saying that it is regulated that allows those activities to take place so there is no written word to show. But if he wants to argue it, let him carry an empty gun, might be better that way.

Here is the relevant statute, as others have already said the law does not prohibit you from carrying a loaded handgun.
§292.1. Transportation and storage of firearms in privately owned motor vehicles
A. Except as provided in Subsection D of this Section, a person who lawfully possesses a firearm may transport or store such firearm in a locked, privately-owned motor vehicle in any parking lot, parking garage, or other designated parking area.
B. No property owner, tenant, public or private employer, or business entity or their agent or employee shall be liable in any civil action for damages resulting from or arising out of an occurrence involving a firearm transported or stored pursuant to this Section, other than for a violation of Subsection C of this Section.
C. No property owner, tenant, public or private employer, or business entity shall prohibit any person from transporting or storing a firearm pursuant to Subsection A of this Section. However, nothing in this Section shall prohibit an employer or business entity from adopting policies specifying that firearms stored in locked, privately-owned motor vehicles on property controlled by an employer or business entity be hidden from plain view or within a locked case or container within the vehicle.
D. This Section shall not apply to:
(1) Any property where the possession of firearms is prohibited under state or federal law.
(2) Any vehicle owned or leased by a public or private employer or business entity and used by an employee in the course of his employment, except for those employees who are required to transport or store a firearm in the official discharge of their duties.
(3) Any vehicle on property controlled by a public or private employer or business entity if access is restricted or limited through the use of a fence, gate, security station, signage, or other means of restricting or limiting general public access onto the parking area, and if one of the following conditions applies:
(a) The employer or business entity provides facilities for the temporary storage of unloaded firearms.
(b) The employer or business entity provides an alternative parking area reasonably close to the main parking area in which employees and other persons may transport or store firearms in locked, privately-owned motor vehicles.

My nephew said he was told by two different people that it was illegal to have a handgun in your truck with a round in the chamber.
Either way, I wouldn't have it in a place that I would be reaching for if stopped by a cop. Or I would tell him.
That would be a real shitty day to get pulled over and then have a cop watch you fumbling around in a glove box or console with a loaded weapon.

It’s a non-issue if you’re not stupid.
Leave the glove box closed, hands on top the steering wheel. When he asks for your registration and proof of insurance tell him it’s in the glove box and you have a loaded gun in there. They will usually just thank you and tell you to get your information out. Only once out of several stops have I had an officer do anything different. He was young, asked if I minded him getting the paperwork himself. I let him, he got the information, asked me how I liked the Shield since he was thinking abut it getting one for his wife. Have yet to have a problem or even get a ticket.
Don’t be a dick, don’t be a dumbass, and don’t be doing highly illegal shite.

The law you quoted is the "Take Your Gun to Work" statute that was enacted a few years ago. Unless you're dealing with a property owner or employer who has prohibitions, there is no requirement for "locked, privately-owned motor vehicle" when it comes to carrying a loaded weapon in your vehicle.
As was noted earlier, in Louisiana, unless there is a statute forbidding an action, then it's legal to engage in said action. Unless you're a felon, or otherwise prohibited, it's perfectly legal to carry a loaded weapon in your car/truck/motor home.
