Firearms in RV

In Michigan and other states is a person allowed to keep a shotgun or revolver in an RV without a concealed carry permit?

Thanks.

    California does not recognize your CCW.

    You can possess one, just not carry it concealed.
  • Carrying your gun in your trailer is not considered "concealed carry". Your RV is basically considered your "home". A MH may have different rules since you have ready access to the weapon.
    Here is a map that shows states that honor your CCW.

  • There is an excellent book--"The traveler's guide to The firearms laws of the 50 states". Tells you everything you need. Updated yearly. about $15. Concise with the important info
    I believe the laws change when you are driving and when you are camped.
    You can certainly look up the details. I wouldn't trust my freedom on someone's interpretation here.
    MIKE--The same book tells which states honor your permit and which don't. Most do but don't trust your freedom .......

    Each state has their own rules. Often the breakdown for carry rules will also touch on the residence laws. Since a RV can be a residence and a vehicle you need to be careful.

    Federal rules apply while on the intestate system but once you stop for fuel, eat, whatever the local laws kick into effect.
