 Book: Traveler's Guide to the Firearm Laws of the Fifty States I received
The beginning there's a How to read this guide and then it covers some definitions of things like reciprocity and recognition, shall issue vs may issue, etc. Then there is a page for each state. It rates the state on prohibition vs freedom on a 100 point scale at the top. Next is a Traveler's Checklist that covers Firearms Ownership, Concealed Carry, Vehicle Carry, etc. Basically a quick view list of the state's laws. The rest of the page consist of a few paragraphs about the state and it's gun laws. It goes over the items in the checklist in more detail. Near the back of the book there is a section on traveling to Canada and Mexico, State Agency contacts, and state Reciprocity & Recognition lists. I have to say I am pretty glad I have it. I plotted my course from Las Vegas to New Orleans and then to Tampa. I was able to pop to the state's page and see where I could carry loaded in the car, concealed, etc. From Las Vegas I'll have to unload and pack the trunk as I go through California. After that I should be fine all the way to New Orleans to carry loaded up front with me. I don't carry concealed in the car, I have it in a holster between my seat and console. From New Orleans I am ok n Miss, unload and to the trunk in Alabama, and then in the glove box or I have to get a holster with a snap to carry in plain view? Anyway, This book will definitely stay in my car as it is a great quick reference. If laws get updated I'll just print them out and add them.

| I've always wondered if those kind of books would be worth it, but now I know. I will have to look into buying a copy in January. It seems like a great book to keep handy. |

| I've had one for about 6 months now and have referred to it regularly. I would definitely highly recommend it.

| The 2008 Edition just arrive at our Pro Shop and you can purchase it on line at www.ofagear.com. The photo of the book on the on-line Pro Shop may display last year's edition but we're completely sold out of them and the only one in inventory is the 2008 version - so don't let that discourage you from ordering.
