So where it wouldn't apply would be if you are using the rust out truck with no engine as a hunting blind.
So since it is criminal code and a dual procedure offence, the penalty could include jail time, fine, and/or licence suspension.

What if the person with the loaded firearm is not the driver, and he doesn't have the keys? Then he would not be in "care and control of the motor vehicle". In the case of impaired people in a motor vehicle, as long as the driver isn't impaired, there is no impaired charge.
