When on the road with my guns I do make the effort to comply with the letter and intent of the myriad of laws ...




================


==================

... but I gotta be honest,  it ain't easy.  Just the nuances of Illinois compliance stuff often makes my head swim; crossing from state to state sometimes is like ... wow ... although CCL reciprocity has helped immensely.  There are some anti-gun states in the USA that I just won't visit.  For that matter (concealed carry license or not, for safety reasons more than the legalities) there are some cities in Illinois that I avoid like I would an outbreak of Ebola.  

===================

The above (very old)  locking metal box is what I call my "vehicle compliance box."  I won't bore you with the details of when it is used and why ... let's just say that I do make the effort and I also keep the telephone numbers of a couple of lawyers on speed dial in case I am detained because I misunderstood a nuance of some law.  




"Unloaded, locked, separate from ammunition, and not readily accessible" used to be a good general guideline ... the box went in the trunk.  Some guns are more readily unloaded than others ...

Many many many years ago I traveled with unloaded handguns stowed inside my luggage in the trunk ... until I was offered a legal opinion that in some jurisdictions it would be considered as "carrying concealed" ... that the handguns must be locked in a recognizable "handgun box." Some states offered that it was okay to have a loaded "car gun" provided that it was holstered in plain view ... others states said / implied that it had to be holstered in the glove box ... and in some jurisdictions the presence of a holster was prima facie evidence of the intent to carry concealed.

Then again there will always be a sizable portion of the population that just doesn't give a shit about gun laws, orders of protection, DUI laws, etc ...

'We the Politicians of the United States, in Order to avoid a more perfect Union, manipulate Justice, destroy domestic Tranquillity, provide for the common offense, promote general Warfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty for ourselves and our Progeny, do blaspheme and eviscerate this Constitution of the United States of America."
