depends on the laws of the state you are traveling too.
I live in Texas and my permit is recognized in most states I might drive in. But my home town is in West Virginia which doesn't recognize it. I google but can't find the reason it's not recognized. In general, since a specific state is not easy for anyone here, unless they are from WV, what are the general thoughts on having my hand gun in my vehicle.
Disassemble it or not if it's something like a Western Marshall?
Put it in the trunk, what about a vehicle without a trunk like a Corvette?
Do you think it's required to tell the officer the gun is in the car if stopped for speeding or some other traffic stop?
Finally, does anyone know where to search to find the actual laws or regulations which tell you what is required to have a hand gun in the vehicle?

Maybe u should du sum reserch and c if the state ur going 2 allowz u to carry ur gun in a the truk w/out a permit.
If not u should get on the webz and ask a bunch of people u don't know and who won't be there when the Po-Po R slappin the cuffz on u what they think you should do.
Or you could google FOPA

Thanks Navy.
I actually called the WV State Police and asked them what was required since I was going to visit family. The only thing I got from him was a bunch of "Why are you bringing a gun here"? I never did get an answer.

Call the state's Department of Safety. On our trip to Yuma we passed through Texas and New Mexico. I called both states and they have the same rules, you are allowed to have the pistol in the car, loaded, as long as it is concealed.
