Travel with guns
When you are a full timer what issues are there with having a gun for protection? Restrictions when crossing state lines? Thank you.

If you feel better carrying a gun then go for it.
The problem I have is the false sense of security some people get carrying a hand gun while hiking or boon-docking in the wild believing it is enough of a deterrent against black, brown and grizzly bears. When you can shoot a bear with a hunting rifle and if you don't get a true shot off all you're going to do is piss it off. Been there. Taking into consideration how accurate most people are with a hand gun, especially when surprised or scared, not a good choice.
