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.

They didn't say any state, they said every state which is correct.

In TN and MS, that I know of, it is not illegal to carry a firearm in your vehicle without a permit, so it is NOT correct to say it is illegal in "every" state since it is legal in some states.

There is a difference between the interpretation "it is not legal in each state," which is how I read the post, and "there is at least one state where it is not legal," which is the only way the phrase is correct.
