If driving on a road trip with a gun make sure you know where your route will take you. I drove from Missouri to Maryland for my Grandmother's funeral almost 10 years ago, and knew I would be going through Illinois and of course the Democratic Republic of MD. I didn't take my gun, and I hated it. But I knew if I got pulled over in IL or MD I would go to jail. I have my Texas license to carry, and I also have one from Florida, so I am good in a majority of states - especially southern states.
Well - after the funeral my Aunt gave me a 100yr old police revolver my Grandmother had been saving for me since her husband died when I was a baby. I was stuck driving back to MO with a weapon - and no gun safe. Ultimately I put it in the springs under my back seat just in case. I was ok though - no tickets or anything, but I was sweating it the whole way. The govt shouldn't allow us to be put in that position. Trump needs to push the national carry reciprocity. Carrying isn't a privilege - it is a right.
Agreed. It does complicate traveling like you said. I usually stay out of those crazy states if at all possible. The gun safe is good. I have had to stash mine from time to time as well till I got out of a particular jurisdiction. Needless to say, I tried to avoid those places. Texas and the South were great. Nice people there too.
National carry is long overdue. You right about that. The State should not be able to restrict my Constitutional right to arm.
I live in Nevada. So it is not unusual to see open carry. I also carried in Church. It was a small congregation and at least 70% of the congregants were packing heat. The other 30% knew that the rest of us did.
Yes it is indeed. Something I would have never experienced simply taking a plane somewhere. Some times the experience is in the journey, not the destination.
Nice to know. U.S is a very beautiful place for road trip.
