Not only do the laws vary from state to state, but also from city to city. New York, Chicago, Detroit and other cities have law very strict laws that the states of those cities do not have.

Now that's the best answer. You and a few others actually tried to answer the question.

It always amazes me as to how many people make comments without answering the original question. :R

What's worse, there is even a comment or two that could put a person on the wrong side of the law if they did as suggested. :E

Well, except for the fact that there are some wrong answers in there.

For some reason, a lot of people believe Detroit has very strict gun laws; maybe it's because it's such a sewer and folks automatically equate high crime cities to strict gun laws.

Michigan has a preemption law, meaning counties/cities/towns cannot pass stricter gun laws that preempt state law. In Detroit, you can carry concealed with a license. If you don't have one, you can open carry a holstered handgun, or even open carry a rifle slung over your back.

There's also a big difference between having a handgun in your RV, and a pump-action shotgun or hunting rifle.

The best advice on this thread is to check with a gun law lawyer.

Oh, and my Michigan Concealed Pistol License is recognized by 40 states. ;) The 10 states that don't honor it don't get any of my money.

ETA - if you choose to have one in your RV, please have a method of securing it. The nightstand drawer or a cabinet is not secure. Hiding is not the same as securing it.
