Traveling with a gun

[ngarre2]

So I'm going to Florida and was wondering what the different laws in the 3 states I will be traveling through are in regards to a hand gun in the car. Now I am going to look it up for myself but I just thought it would be a good discussions here. Also when in Florida I suppose I should leave it in the safe since my CHP has yet to come in.

The way things are, you are taking a chance with your safety if you don't have a gun and you are risking tthe wrath of the leo's if you do have one. It's a no win situation so take one and just follow all traffic laws and don't get stopped.

Actually, I'm thinking their laws are in some ways better than ours...

do NOT carry in your vehicle in alabama without a permit. alabama requires a CHP to carry a pistol in your car concealed, plain sight, on person, in the vehicle period.

I'm fairly certain U.S. Interstate Commerce Laws allow for transport of a firearm in any state as long as it is unloaded, in a locked case seperate from ammunition and not in the passenger compartment.

Unless you are in a state like New York or Illinois that refuses to acknowledge such ideals.

last time i went to illinois i printed out the laws and highlighted them and kept them in the car with me in case i got pulled over

MS is fine, AL is not, FL is fine.

Alabama is not cool and honestly I dont think florida is either. We have had investigators arrested and their weapons taken in Alabama and Florida we had to obtain a non resident conceal permit. But Im not sure about Florida we just had a lot of work there and thought it would be easier to have it and not worry.

This is not correct.
