well i doubt the cop would sit quietly as you choose to break the carry laws as you travel in to other states.

i believe you need to find a gun shop in a legal state and rent a locker to store your guns as you travel thru a state that doesn't allow it.

its a pretty simple solution.

if you can't follow the law, you have no need for a firearm.

good luck driving respectfully in some states and not in others.

what if you broke down? is the tow guy and the mechanic going to enjoy you unpacking your arsenal and sitting in the waiting room fully armed while they change a tire?

ignorance is a bad excuse.

ive used my 1908 Colt twice in the last year. both times, putting down hurt animals. if its a tool and you have a legal use, the law is easy.

if you want to break bottles in other states, leave it at home.

This is a pretty good resource with links to state by state laws. https://www.pewpewtactical.com/rving-with-guns/

Having a locking case is more or less required if you're travelling.

If passing through a state that does not recognize your CC permit all you need to do is store the fire arm unloaded in a case that is not easily accessible. If it were a car you would lock it in the trunk. In a bus a small safe would work. It would be a good idea to have a safe to store the fire arm when not carrying it. It would be best to check the laws of the specific states you will be traveling through.

I am considering getting concealed carry permits from multiple states.

Link: Multi State CCW Permit | CCW USA

They claim that you can carry concealed in up to 30 states.

Doesn't reciprocity already mean that?

Yes, but reciprocity is not universal.

I have a Washington CPL. I can carry in Idaho but not in Oregon. To carry in Oregon I have to get a permit from Oregon or a state that they honor. They don't honor Washington permits.

What states honor permits from certain other states is all over the board.

I forget the particulars but I can get non-resident permits from a couple of other states and leverage what reciprocity there is.

Here is an interactive map that illiterates it well:. https://www.gunstocarry.com/ccw-reciprocity-map/

Firearms When Roaming

Everyone’s gotta weigh if it’s worth it.

For states and places with strict laws I’ll probably take a shotgun since it’s legal pretty much everywhere even Canada and just avoid the hassle of trying to figure out legality of a handgun/hollow points/mag capacity etc.

I don’t think I will need a firearm but having a shotgun just in case makes me feel better. Think deliverance, rabbit animals, bears, mountain lions, water moccasins, etc.

I travel with my family so kids and dogs, I’m pretty confident can avoid situations where an animal or person would consider attacking me but I like the extra security of knowing I could defend my dog from another animal or my family from a Skoolie burglar.

Shotguns are versatile, cheap, and offer less legal hassle. Just something to consider.

Plus like others have stated; be smart and stay legal but there should be no reason LE is in your bus or know you have a firearm unless you had to use it to prevent being killed.

It is a very personal decision.

Myself, I have more worry about two legged predators than four legged. I carry a pistol pretty much any time I can legally.

Regarding Canada, we (hopefully) all are aware that you cannot carry handguns across the border.

I was living full time in my first bus and shooting some competition. Pre 9/11 I took a trip to Canada, leaving my guns in the US. At the border I learned a $4300+ lesson regarding Canada's ammunition laws.

I had 10,000+ Rounds of target ammo and 1000+ rounds of hollowpoint. They took it all and fined me $4 per round for the evil hollowpoint.

The dipstick RCMP scolded me while shaking a box of .22 target loads in my face telling me that "these are what assassin's use" to explain how evil it was.

I am now a little OCD about educating myself as to local laws when I cross borders.

Ouch! Thanks for the heads up...I had no idea. Guess I will stick to running guns & ammo into Mexico where they are appreciated.

Never heard of anyone being incarcerated or penalized for simply just passing through a state that restricts handguns, as long as said unloaded firearm is not within reach of driver, (same for ammo), and firearm is not brandished.
Doesn't apply to Joe Public travelling from Florida to Maine with a stopover in the Bronx.
Kinda hard to say you're just passing through, in that scenario...

NO. It is illegal to possess a loaded firearm in any motor vehicle without a valid New York License to Carry. However, federal law does permit a person to transport a firearm through New York state. ... If you have a New York pistol license then you can carry a loaded concealed handgun in a vehicle.

While studying RV gun laws today I came across this site. Date of publication 2018 so fairly recent but I haven't found anything about their creds. Any ideas?

I'm surprised to see how many states limit magazine capacity to 10. I have 15 and 17 round magazines for mine. Ga. is very lenient on, well.....everything. When I first moved here I was fueling up the car when a motorcycle "gang" rolled in to fuel up, every one of them packing a side arm, a little culture shock coming from Calif.

Here in FL we have a huge influx of 1%ers lately. Roxy and I were in a pub watching a musician we know and we realized that a "club" not known to be in FL were there and open carrying. They even had an armed sentry at the restroom door so the leader dude and his "old lady" could hang out doing coke alone in the mens room.
Got out of there and won't return.

Good move!


New influx of 1%ers ... those "club" folks are a quite different 1% than on the news and politics I'd say.

It's probably best NOT to! You never know who is watching.
