Out-of-state Carrying
Leaving west in a month for a much deserved vacation. When I was younger I thought I was invincible. I'm on the wrong side of 70 y.o. now and don't feel that way anymore. I would like to take something with me (IN, IL, Iowa, SD, & NE). I know handguns are out of the question even though I have a IN concealed permit (which means nothing out there). What about long guns? Can I have the piece in a locked case in the truck cab? Does ammo have to be in the truck bed?
Thanks guys,
Thanks guys,

Your IN permit allows you to carry concealed in SD.

As for the other states, the site has links to individual state laws too. I think the answer will differ state by state.

For what it is worth, it will take quite a while to remove a long gun from a case, load it, and weild it around inside the cab of a truck. I would say your accelerator is a better option, and some good pepper spray for when you are out of the truck.
I know it is not a bob tail 357 loaded with hollow points in your coat pocket, but it may help.0 -
Check out the State justice Dept web sites for the state you will be in. Most states with CCP laws have reciprocity agreements. 0 -

On long guns, in general, you're allowed to carry long guns UNLOADED and in the TRUNK of your car when passing through any state.
I don't know the exact rules with respect to trucks (and they likely vary a bit from State to State), but I can see good reason why you would NOT want to have a long gun in your truck BED. (IE its more open to theft, etc).
You'd PROBABLY be OK with a long gun in the cab of your truck if its unloaded AND not readily accessible to the driver and passenger(s) (eg its in a separate container within the cab or otherwise locked down, broken down into component parts, etc).
Again, for the exact rules, this is something you'd have to check on a State by State basis.
There are a few states that allow you to carry LOADED longarms *IN* the passenger compartment of your car (eg on display in a gunrack for the full Redneck experience!). I think TX and SC fall into this category, though I don't know about the others in your list.
IL, in particular is highly gun UNFRIENDLY, so watch out there.
In terms of actually USING a longarm inside your truck. . .I agree with 45forme. Not ideal. Even assuming you can load the gun quickly (which if you're storing the thing legally, you should NOT be able to do), manipulating a long gun inside a vehicle is highly impractical.
Stun baton like this might be a reasonable substitute, again, subject to State-by-State law:

BABUN,
He does have to adhere to other state laws or be subject to criminal charges. We (Gunbroker) do not encourage lawlessness for any reason. To suggest otherwise it foolhardy.

Being 70 years old doesn't make you immune to criminal charges.
Would you rather be "right" in jail or "wrong" free?0 -
Illinois will jail you and take your firearm.....no respect for the 2nd ammendment at all...[xx(]
Even if you have a long gun, it would have to be case and the ammo seperate.0 -

I understand your deleting of my post and I thank you for doing it in a Professional manner. BUT I wish you to understand that my posting was NOT a recommendation to break the law, {which it does], but rather a sentiment that is growing stronger and more wide spread
thru-out this country. When laws are passed, that make no sense and indeed go against what is written in the Constitution, we as true America loving citizens must sometimes "break" them and perhaps
bring those laws to light and push them out of the darkness that is a
government that has gone too far in corrupting our very basic laws that this great country was founded on. Bob

I think that I want to differentiate between opinions, politics and subjects that are best left to the General Discussion forum, from the basic facts of this discussion. I understand the thoughts but they deserve to be used in another setting.

recently (last march) utah changed its views on firearms similar to the arizona law. the long and the short of the story is that in your car is considered the same as in your home and you may do any thing in your car that you do in your home. i would not recomend you have a blow up woman in your back seat but you can have a loaded firearm in your car without having a ccp.
p.s.
i strongly agree with us55840 based on the old adage "i would rather be judged by twelve than carried by six"0 -
Thanks for the advice guys. bts, I didn't meen my age had any implied slack from the LEOs, what I meant by "invincible" was being able to handle confrontations by AHs w/o any help. Naturally I am probly overestimating my prowness of 30 years ago! 0
