- TerryallanExplorer III wouldn't see why not. Especially if you don't tell any one it's there.
- RbertalottoExplorerIn most states it might be illegal to have a loaded firearm in the vehicle "if it is not in your immediate control" And if it is in your control, you most likely will need a Concealed Carry Permit.
Firearms, unloaded, in a locked container or in a locked portion of the vehicle not accessible from the passenger compartment with ammo stored separately with the same prohibitions can be transported anywhere in the USA.....But I'd stay out of NY, Chicago and DC
In many states a loaded firearm in a vehicle is evidence of poaching from a vehicle. In some states, leaning a loaded firearm against the vehicle while parked is the same as a loaded firearm in the vehicle. This will bring a sizable fine in a few states I know of. - DUNEBUGGYDOUGExplorerJust don't put a sign on your truck saying that you have a weapon
- kbaumExplorerNot sure why you need to carry a loaded gun. I carry the "Judge" locked in the camper with shells/bullets stored elsewhere in the camper. Seems a bit safer to me.

I've heard its considered a 2nd home & being its a truck camper I have no access to the guns without parking & unlocking the back door & climbing to get them.
Go to www.gunlawguide.com It's the updated info on what you would ever want to know about the 50 states gun laws. Some folks aren't up on gun laws so I wouldn't put to much stock in their advice. - Blanco1Explorer

Well before I even bother with clicking that link, I know I may not of said, but I'm talking about over state lines.
So my concern is not so much in state but across the country & of Course in no way will I be declaring it to anyone & I wont even consider a any sort of NRA stickers being that just tells the cops to search me. - Old-BiscuitExplorer III

You do realize that in CA you can carry the handgun but it has to be unloaded and locked away.
You will have to consider that before you get out of state. - Blanco1ExplorerFrom what I understand the gun & ammo must be kept apart, yet the way I see it I should be able to keep a loaded gun in the camper & I would only have access to it while set up in a camp ground & no way possible able to reach it from the cab of the truck.
& if worse came to worse I suppose I can keep the Ammo unloaded from the guns, yet a lot of good that does in the middle of the night if some thug decides to invade us!
I've done enough Boondockings where there is nobody else around at all & those areas sorta make me nervous from the thugs of opportunity.
So knowing I can defend myself makes me more comfy.
