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 I lived in a country where there are 88.9 guns to every 100 persons, I would emigrate immediately. If I had to worry if I'd forgotten my gun, and not my can opener on every holiday trip, I'd stop at home.
The United States of America is a very young country compared to the United Countries of Europe, where 2000 plus years of conflict have revealed that mass gun ownership solves nothing. Yes we do have gun crime, 46 gun related deaths in the last year, compared to about 80 per day in the USA. I understand that in some states you (or a physcopath) can on production of a drivers licence, purchase a gun. No modern forward thinking country would tolerate such puny measures, its probably harder to buy a can of beer, if of course you haven't forgotten your can opener.
I can purchase a gun because I have been screened for a concealed carry permit. Most anyone else has a waiting period.
We have the RIGHT to own guns,some choose to some don't. We have the right to protect us from our own Government. It's called the Second Amendment.
