I don't know anything about the rules/laws/regulations but with the carrying in a vehicle aspect. States in red do not mandate that person have a license for the weapon?

My state sucks.....Ironic though, one of the leading proponents for the law in Washington DC capped some kid with an unregistered handgun for pool hopping in his backyard. link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Rowan).....unbelievable.

In MD you can transport a firearm in its own case/unloaded and with the ammo in a closed container,away from the firearm without a permit...

So if I live in MD, I could carry your gun in that manner even though I don't have a permit?

i thought that was only in specific circumstances though. i.e. to and from the range, gunsmith, etc.

In Georgia we usually leave 'em on the dashboard for easy access. J/K I think the law is without a permit you can carry loaded firearm in glovebox/similar. With firearm permit you can keep anywhere inside vehicle. http://www.packing.org/ is an excellent site for checking on specific states and states that have reciprocity with your permit. Keep in mind that these type sites are not the final word and the Law is whatever the Judge says the Law is so don't take any website as gospel. If you're really concerned check with the state authoritie in which you'll be travelling with.

[caudio51]

That's the same site I got those maps from.

Indeed, packing.org is a great resourse! Excellent advice about checking on your own though to verify. Unfortunately, good intent is not a defense if you get sideways with the local LEO's.

Wow, I had no idea there were actually states that denied the right to carry 100%. Todd, NE just got crossed off my list of states where I'd live bro, sorry. And WI, I had no idea!

[oneaday]

In AZ we just strap em on a carry almost everywhere, no permit required unless you conceal.

[tobby4]

I like our rules...

There might be a problem if they ask who owns the firearm...

I think that is correct...

[Greg]

So if I live in MD, I could carry your gun in that manner even though I don't have a permit?You need a permit.

I like ours better. :yes:

[cvm4]

MS rules on atleast one thing :rofl:

[jwintosh]

recent federal law allow me to carry anywhere in the US. well, there are places that i have to have a 'need' (courts, defense sites, airlines, san diego fair (no shit!!),,,

[caudio51]

What was the law for LE prior Jeff?

[jwintosh]

each state had their own rules,,, there were only a few states that had a reciprical, "you can carry in my state if i can carry in yours..." for instance, if i drove to idaho, i couldn't carry in AZ, Nev, Utah,,, but i could in idaho...

Nebraska's law (effective Jan 1, 2007) requires applicants for a concealed-weapon permit to pass a background check and complete a handgun training and safety course. The cost is $100 and is valid for five years. Convicted felons will not be allowed permits.

Concealed weapons are not be allowed in a variety of places, including bars, police stations, public meetings, athletic events, schools, churches, hospitals and banks. Signs are also posted prohibiting the carrying of concealed weapons in other locations.

The new law does not overturn cities' existing ability to ban concealed weapons with their own ordinances. Omaha has such a law on its books.

Ah, that's a pain to know all that

[jwintosh]

no kidding! i was pulled over in lake havasu, and the 'kind' officer informed me that 'he could' take me to jail, but wouldn't.... what a putz!

[caudio51]

That would have sucked!

www.packing.org and www.handgunlaw.us are good resources for the different state laws.

Here in Connecticut you need a permit to buy handguns, or a certificate allowing you to buy (everyone just gets the permit). If you have a permit from another state the gun need to be unloaded in a locked case not accessible to the passenger compacts (SUV's, minivans in the back).

[Texas Cop]

God bless Texas. And remember when carrying brothers, one is none, two is one, and 3 is better.....

I recently got my permit renewed for another 5 years. $35 for the background check $4 for the permit.
