CCW while traveling questions

[Aglifter]

Mek, right now, I'm in TX. But, for half the year I'm in Myrtle Beach.

If you find yourself in the GREATER Orlando area. Let me know. I could probably be convinced to buy you a beer.

Here's one site that says you may carry concealed in state parks. Questions 26 and 27 answers most of your questions.

Yeah, I'm getting conflicting answers. I think I'm gonna contact DPS and get an official answer.

In addition, the last legislative session, they passed a law that was enacted on Sept 1 which makes accidental disclosure of a concealed carry okay.

Good to know.

Storage in Texas means, not readily available. Under a pile of junk in the back of your SUV, in the trunk of a sedan, those types of places.

The long gun will be unloaded and cased in a storage locker built into the van.

A good site for information that's updated regularly is handgunlaw.us
In addition to the interactive map of where your permit is good for, they have state summaries (such as the Ohio one as an example) that I save and store on my tablet/laptop just prior departure for states I'm traveling through on that trip...You must inform an LE officer when carrying during an official interaction. Follow their instructions. Attempting to handle your weapon without explicit instructions from LE could be a chargeable offense.

I've been poking around there for info. As to informing officers, I fully planned to wether required or not. Though I'm hoping to not have to deal with them.

If you desire to CCW, DON'T come to COMMIEFORNIA

No plans to. The closest I'll be getting is Dallas. I'd love to see Yosemite and many of the other areas of CA, but it's out of reach and too much of a hassle.

Here in SC, you can carry in your car in a closed container that has a fastener...

So, in a latched console is legal?

If you come through the Charlotte area, let me know

Let me know if you're coming to the Carolinas as well, please.

If you find yourself in the GREATER Orlando area. Let me know.

if you get as far north in AR as southern MO, feel free to give me a shout.

If all goes as planned, I'll be hitting the road the first week of May. I'll be starting a thread then and updating it from the road. Right now I'm not sure what cities I'll be hitting besides 3 or 4, but there will be a live feed of my whereabouts.
