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.
