    Default States where a permit from a home state is not recognized.

    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

    Notification requirement depends entirely upon state law, although mostly, notification is only required if you are carrying on your person.

    18 USC 926A:

    United States Code: Title 18,926A. Interstate transportation of firearms | LII / Legal Information Institute

    § 926A. Interstate transportation of firearms

    Notwithstanding any other provision of any law or any rule or regulation of a State or any political subdivision thereof, any person who is not otherwise prohibited by this chapter from transporting, shipping, or receiving a firearm shall be entitled to transport a firearm for any lawful purpose from any place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm to any other place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm if, during such transportation the firearm is unloaded, and neither the firearm nor any ammunition being transported is readily accessible or is directly accessible from the passenger compartment of such transporting vehicle: Provided, That in the case of a vehicle without a compartment separate from the driver’s compartment the firearm or ammunition shall be contained in a locked container other than the glove compartment or console.

    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.

    Never ask LEO for advice on the law. They don't know. Try this board or handgunlaw.us to start. Then, look up the statutes yourself.

    Any given percentage of the LEO's that do know will not want to give you a straight answer due to the "I am a cop and you are not" elitist mentality some suffer.

    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.

    You'd carry per the FOPA, locked up, unloaded, ammo separate.
