interstate transportation

[dieselman]

according to this article...

http://www.handgunlaw.us/documents/USRVCarCarry.pdf

it is unlawful to have a loaded firearm in your possession while travelling state to state. is this true?

 

[INGunGuy]

It depends on if you have a carry permit and the state's that you will be traveling thru take your LTCH. When we travel to Florida, I am good to go the entire journey because the LTCH covers me. If you are traveling thru somewhere like Illinois, then yes, the firearm must be unloaded and enclosed in a case and not accessible to the passenger compartment.

Varries from state from what I've seen. Would like to get the Utah permit myself as that covers a lot of states.

Not that I am trying to plug another site but information is power..

Check Concealed Carry, Reciprocity Maps, Concealed Weapons Permit

They have all of the Reciprocity for the country, I consult the maps when I have to travel..

To get the most Reciprocity it states you should have a Utah and Florida permits.

I use that specific website prior to all my trips. I even print it out in-case I might have to explain myself to a unenlightened foreign power.

To be on the safe side without looking up each states rules, keep it in a box unloaded while traveling interstate. IL is one of the most restricted states and u can drive through it in this manner.

Utah and Arizona will get you the same states and is much cheaper.

too bad AZ no longer issues CCW permits... at least thats my understanding of their new law not requiring CCW permits.

 

[Mr. Habib]

You are correct that they no longer require one to carry in AZ. They still issue them for people needing one to carry in other states. I just got mine about two weeks ago.

 

[96firephoenix]

ok, thanks for the clarification.

How difficult is it to get the permits out of state. I'm in the military and travel a lot and would love get this squared away.

 

[Mr. Habib]

Depends on the state. My advice would be to start here Handgunlaw.us. They have links to each state with the requirements. Utah and Florida are probably to most popular ones. Utah requires you to take their class, you can find it offered here in Indiana. Florida requires that you have proof of competence with a handgun. Your military training should suffice for that.
