Are We Allowed to have a gun in an RV for protection?

Is it legal to carry a firearm in an RV. I am not paranoid, but I like to be prepared.

NRA and some of the other gun people have good info about gun laws state by state. If you do not have a gun I would check out some of the info before purchasing a gun. It is impossible to give a quick answer to that question. Many RVers have weapons in their RV and are legal. Some have weapons illegally and unaware because the law is very vague and varies state by state. JMHO as retired LEO.

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

The laws vary greatly depending what state you are in. Whether or not your are driving or camped and hooked up also governs the status of a loaded firearm inside.

Most generally you are not allowed to have a loaded firearm while not stopped and camped....and additionally even an unloaded handgun is required to be locked up when not camped. Again, varies state to state.

Do you have a permit?
