Sounds like the information officer wasn't too sure of his information. I'm too lazy to pull up the actual regulation but I'm 99% sure there is no one gun limit (I regularly take non-PAL friends shooting with 5+ guns) and I'm pretty sure they have to be within reasonable proximity, which I was told was within earshot. The rule is "direct supervision", I don't think it is defined in terms of actual distance.
I'm not surprised. A non-hunting buddy was out fishing with a buddy of his that is a cop with VPD. They had a shotgun for bear protection and his buddy told him it was OK to have the shotgun loaded in the truck as long as there was no round in the chamber!
You might want to ask another information officer, or look up the actual regulation and take it with you. I have a non-restricted .223 that looks very much like an "assault rifle" so I keep a copy of the relevant information in my truck. The only time I've ever showed it to a cop he was very polite and thanked me for taking the burden of knowing everything of of him.
