Travel with guns

Just keep it unloaded and packed away when driving and no issues in the US as far as I know... Once you are parked, you can keep it however you wish inside your RV, just as you can in your home.

If you have a carry concealed weapons permit, you might be allowed to travel with it loaded in some states, but you'd have to check that out for each state.

I live in WA state and have a CCW and I take my gun with me on camping trips, but it's unloaded and packed away while driving.

Legally, I can drive with it loaded in the vehicle, but I don't need to do that.. I can also carry it on my person, loaded, concealed if I choose to..

In WA, it's also an "open carry" state, so you can pack it on your hip if you so desire too... As long as you are legally allowed to own a hand gun, you can do this..

Of course there are rules and regs governing 'where' you can do this and there are places that even with a CCW you can't take your weapon on the premises, but in general public places and in State and National Parks in WA state, you can... :)

When camped, I keep my weapon 'close by' when we are in the RV and secured when we aren't.

You will have to do your own research on what's applicable to where you wish to go, as all states have their own rules and even agreements on where CCW permits are accountable or not.. I think I'm good in most of the NW states, but I have no idea on if my CCW is good on the East Coast for example... But, I'm not planning any trips out there soon, so I don't really care... ;)

There is a story about a Lady with a CC from perhaps Nebraska on the net. She properly locked the gun seperate from the ammunition in and airline approved container and stowed by the airline. When she got to New York she was arrested on a felony for having an unregistered (in NY) firearm. This was just a few days ago.
