You better do thorough research to ensure you are complying with every law in each state you will be traveling through. I would start at www.handgunlaw.us. Then, go to the states own websites to ensure the information you have is current.

The problem with printed copies is that the information may be outdated, as laws seem to change with the winds.

Bottom line is this...Federal law supercedes State law.
Interstate Transportation Act / Uniform Firearms Act covers the transportation of... cased and unloaded / ammo separate from firearm container /
weapon placed in trunk or as far from driver as possible... from place of origin to destination in all 48 continuous states.
(You can google that...)

Good point Shooter. But you will have to investigate state laws of whether or not you can carry it on your person in your car. But like Shooter said, bottom line you can take it with you although it may be in the trunk of your car.

At a high level, you should be fine driving. But the devil is in the details. Make sure you understand the following for each state you will traverse:
Is OC legal (accidental or intentional)?
Are you required to inform LEO on official contact?
What are prohibited areas?

True, but they've got listings for contact agencies in each state. A quick phone call should cover all bases.

Please tell me you are exaggerating the laws somewhat? That sure seems over the top!But state laws can be stricter than federal. Here in Illinois must be in container, in trunk, unloaded, taken apart and a FOID CARD. But that's the communist state of IL.. Stay away from IL. LOL.

Laws are continually shifting when it comes to which states reciprocate your own state laws. Sites like this should help you keep abreast of it. I advise you to re-check reciprocacy each time you are to carry across the line.

Also keep in mind that Federal Laws are superceded by Tribal Law when on Tribal Land (Independent Nations, remember?)
