I am the first one to admit that I am not an expert on the legal ramifications of possessing a firearm in every state of our country, or traveling through different states with a weapon. The purpose of this blog post is simply to offer a source of information that has been available to citizens for quite a while now, designed to help you should you desire to arm yourself in your state, or travel to others during your life.
This publication, ‘2023 Travelers Guide To The Firearms Laws of the 50 States’ has been recommended by numerous sources over the years that I’ve been involved in RV travel. I don’t profess to be able to refer to it as the absolute ‘authority’ on the topic. I do believe that it is a source of information you should at least consult before you travel into a state where the laws may be different than the state you reside in, and know you are legal.
The laws do change periodically, and this publication is updated to reflect the current statutes on the books for each state. The 2023 edition is available through this link. If you click it and purchase it, I will receive a small commission, however, you won’t pay more in the process.
The topic seems to generate controversy in today’s society, and that is not our intent in posting this. The right to protect yourself and loved ones, and how to achieve that end is for each individual to determine for themself. Doing so legally wherever you may be should be considered as you ponder that question.
