That is not true. see the Canadian fire arms centre's web page and read the rules.

Interesting... I thought I heard on the news not too long ago where a guy accidentally got into the wrong lane to the Canada boarder from WA state and just wanted to turn around and had no intention of entering Canada at all, but had a gun and told them about it and got hassled about it and detained and whatever and it was just a PITA for him...

Since I don't really leave the WEST coast and not in the least bit interested in going to Canada with a firearm, I don't really care either way.. :)

So just chalk up that statement as a dumb internet statement and find out the truth for yourself BEFORE you do something stupid.. :)

MItch

Your statement is precisely why I don't take anything I read on internet forums as factual without first verifying. :R

It is amazing how sensitive this whole gun thing is these days.. I grew up around guns and knew how to respect them from a very young age (5)...

Anyway, it's not that way now, so I do understand that.. :)

It's just ashame how society has changed and common sense has "left the room".. ;)

Thanks Tommy. I know my CWP has no meaning in IL, so I would treat the gun accordingly.. It would be in the TT, locked away and unloaded and ammo would not be near it.. :)

So, I can't even carry an unloaded firearm in my TT in the state of Illinois??

WTF...

WOW...

Guess I won't be going to Illinois.. But, so far I haven't had a need to, so it's really a moot point..:)

Are there any states that don't consider the RV your home?

When parked, I am not aware of any state that does not treat an RV as a domicile.

When moving it gets, trickier.

A "not bad" rule of thumb would be like booze, is has to be out of reach of the driver.

Bottom line do what you want. I will always be "ready" to protect my family. If it means going to jail later so be it!
