Summer is here. And if you’re like many people, you’re planning a trip that may take you out of state or across many states.
But what if you plan to carry or pack a gun for protection, target shooting, or hunting? No problem. You just throw it in the trunk. Right? Well, it’s not that easy. Every time you cross a state line, you enter into a totally new set of gun laws. And if you’re not careful, your fun vacation could turn into a terrible nightmare if you’re caught breaking local laws.
My solution? The Traveler’s Guide to the Firearm Laws of the 50 States. I always keep this book handy whenever and wherever I travel.
It answers all the most important questions. Can I open carry in Texas? Is my concealed handgun license honored by every state I drive through on my way to Florida? Does California have state preemption of firearms laws? Do I need a concealed carry license to carry a loaded gun in my car or while hunting in Colorado? How must I store my long guns?
Maybe someday basic gun laws will be uniform from state to state, but until then you face a patchwork of laws. And YOU are responsible for knowing and complying with those laws. Ignorance is not a defense.
This guide gives you a one-page summary that will help you understand each state’s laws and do things the legal way. You can plan your trip with these laws in mind and relax, knowing you have one less thing to worry about.
As author Scott Kappas puts it, “Stay on the road and out of jail.”
Specifically, the book gives you a …
