Best advice...NY, MA, NJ, IL, CA...just stay out. Minimizing your stops in bad states is a great piece of advice. In addition, keep that firearm case and anything that looks like a stereotypical gun case out of sight. If you get pulled over don't give the officer probable cause to search your vehicle. Practice the phrase "i do not give consent to vehicular searches".
Good luck getting any legal info in CA. No phones, no response to email, and don't know their own laws. Edit: and flagrantly violate the law without repercussion.
Outstanding advice! Yes, there are reciprocity agreements between states and some like Michigan require the agreeing state to apply the same laws/rules that Michigan applies with regards "banned carry places" to Michigan Citizens traveling within the agreement state. Basically whatever applies here applies there. HOWEVER, that will not stop you from being arrested, charged and even convicted because there are prosecutors and judges that will push it through. Furthermore, I once worked as an assistant district attorney and, unfortunately, was amazed at how most police officers were unfamiliar with the law. They are great people but they only thought they understood the laws.
Two weekends ago, my in laws, myself, my lady, and her kids went to Pennsylvania. My MIL was very insistent that I not carry on this trip. I was reluctant to heed her warning because I was excited about flying for the first time with my gun. I gave in and I'm somewhat glad I did. My FIL was driving the rental van. He took multiple wrong turns and we ended up in New Jersey. I would've immediately "become" a felon had I been carrying. 🤦♂️
Get a US Texas Law Shield account as your personal CCW defense attorney. They answer questions every time you travel, send you travel dockets for each state you'll be traveling through and have even had actual state attorneys contact me directly to answer my questions about interstate travel. It is well worth the money, and God forbid you're ever in a shooting, they've got you covered there too. I don't work for them. No connection at all, just a very satisfied customer.
Don’t travel with a firearm? Pfft! I’m not gonna be one of those unarmed drivers that get ambushed in the woods by some creature in the horror movies. 😂
@@WaitWhatsMyName Every time me and my wife watch one of those movies and the stranded unarmed people are getting chased around by some dude, we both look at each other and say….that would never be us. 😆
Telephone calls are vaporware. Email is better, so at the very least you should followup a phone conversation with something in writing and be sure you get an official response in writing.
Good info, Jeff. I live in a state with numerous Native American reservations. Most have state and federal highways going through them that I have to use to reach my destination. Each reservation may patrol these segments of highways as they go through the reservation. What advice do you have for transporting a firearm while traveling within the state and across reservation(s)?
Law enforcement officers have given me false and inaccurate information. In California, its important to know the laws and attitudes, even from County to County, or even city to city. Locked in a case, separated from ammo, in a compartment inaccessible, is my default. Anything can happen, however rare, that can reveal if you are not transitioning correctly.
Even then in some states they can still get you for having an unapproved firearm, magazine, or ammunition. Solid bullets, revolvers, and vanilla shotguns may be your best bet.
@@Paladin1873 That's true. My stuff is California compliant, but I understand that some states are worse, about certain things. I try to remain positive, but I had a Fresno County Sheriff's deputy that gave me information that was either a lie, or he was ignorant about the new law.
@@seanomeirs8362 Neither cops nor lawyer are dependable sources on gun laws, nor is their testimony going to help you in court. Contact the state AG's office in writing and get a written response. Letters and emails are your best bet. Do NOT rely on phone conversations. They are vaporware. "No your honor, I never told him that."
FYI, the Massachusetts Attorney General's office 1) will not be helpful and 2) will not provide accurate information. Unless you have a Massachusetts Non-Resident carry permit, you can not carry in MA (unless you are an active police officer or a retired police officer and are carrying under LEOSA). Check with the Massachusetts Gun Owner's Action League (GOAL) for information about MA gun laws. Please be aware, I'm not defending either the MA gun laws or the MA Attorney General's office. I'm just trying to warn you about the situation behind enemy lines here in MA. The MA Attorney General is NOT a friend of gun owners.
35 years ago I carried in MA and NH. I had concealed carry permits from both states since I lived in one and worked in the other. Little appears to have changed in that regard.
@@Paladin1873 NH now has constitutional carry. MA does issue non-resident permits, but they are may issue, not shall issue, they require in person interviews (once very six years), and must be renewed every year. There is an annual, non-refundable, $100 fee. I suppose MA is better than some states like New York which won't issue any non-resident permits, but not by much.
first of the 11 western states, ca, ut, or, wa. state, are carRy states but out of state must have guns unloaded w/o firearms permits, with firearms permit all the states but ca, and new mexico the guns need to be UNLOADED. i was to get a permit in the state of ca, but find out the carrying the firearm the GUN WOULD HAVE TO BE UNLOADED AT ALL TIMES, SO THE CRIMINAL CARRYS A WEAPON LOAD AND THE PERMIT PERSON UNLOADED, STUPID LAW.

Imagine, being so jaded you'd rather deny yourself a dream because you pretend California will notice your absence. I'm betting 90% of your life choices come from a similar mindset.
@@Motocampster LOL, okay. You'll teach them. Now, who wants to bet your state is stomping on voter rights, free speech, banning books, outlawing freedom of assembly, etc? "I refuse to go into any state that doesn't follow the Constitution" say the lemming. Wonder which one you'll think about on your death bed; the full magazine you never had to use or the empty bucket (list) you never attempted because of your hubris?

Because sometimes you have no choice. If you live in Maine, New Hampshire, or Vermont and need to drive out west, you have no choice but to drive through New York state.
Truckers don't really have a vote in which states they go into either. Yes its legal to carry in a commercial rig, the restrictions are city, county, state, and company policy. There are no federal restrictions as relates to type of vehicle when transporting firearms across state lines
A wedding or a funeral. Sometimes you just gotta go for family. It happened to me. It was a great relief to exit that prison state; pull over, and regain rights.
@@M1911jln When I moved to NH I drove around MA and through VT just to avoid the state laws in MA. When I left NH four years later I drove through MA, but at the time I had a MA permit.

True statement

Yep. Best to avoid those states if at all possible.
Also MD.
Duty to inform laws are an important one to look up and know for the states you cross.
Lucky for me I don't recognize unconstitutional law's.

Great advice! I went to Nevada a couple of years ago, and was surprised there was no concealed reciprocity with NC.
So I carried nothing.

@@M1911jln Thanks for the update. It almost makes you wonder what the men at Lexington Green were fighting for.

Why would you travel to or through a restricted state anyway? Spend your money in a state that supports your rights and the Constitution
Because sometimes you have no choice. If you live in Maine, New Hampshire, or Vermont and need to drive out west, you have no choice but to drive through New York state.
Truckers don't really have a vote in which states they go into either. Yes its legal to carry in a commercial rig, the restrictions are city, county, state, and company policy. There are no federal restrictions as relates to type of vehicle when transporting firearms across state lines

Sometimes you just gotta go for family.
It happened to me.
It was a great relief to exit that prison state; pull over, and regain rights.
There are these things called roads and sometimes when traveling from one state to another you have to travel via other states in the process.
