Yes, the gun is properly registered in the state of MD. I do not have a concealed carry permit.

If you dont have a concealed carry permit it's illegal to carry a firearm in a motorhome in in every state unless the home is parked and hooked up. Even then it's a grey issue in some states like Virginia. I personally wouldn't do it and I've worked in law enforcement.

"Every" is a strong word, and makes this an incorrect statement. Carrying a firearm in a vehicle in my home state of Vermont, for one, is quite legal without any sort of permit unless one is e.g. a felon who may not own a firearm. Most states are rather more restrictive, several a lot more restrictive.

TN and MS also allow a gun to be carried in a vehicle without a permit. The car is considered under the "Castle Doctrine." I don't know about other states.

MS has had that for a long time, but TN only recently passed it into law.
