Are you technically carrying a gun if your car is parked and the gun is unloaded in a locked glove compartment? |

Answer
It varies in each state but you should assume the answer is "yes" until you determine otherwise.
Generally, you are considered in possession of the gun if you can access it from the driver's seat. Most jurisdictions define transporting a firearm as having it in a closed case in the trunk of a car or the rearmost compartment of a van or SUV. Laws differ on whether the ammunition can be stored with it, but to be on the safe side you should have it in a separate container.
Whether the car is parked or not usually has no bearing on this.
