Very odd situation for gun carry from state to state, Input wanted!

Unloaded and locked (either in a case or with a trigger lock or the equivalent) will cover you in just about any state where your permit isn't accepted. You might want to take a couple of hours one day and go to each of those state's websites and print out the laws and keep them in a folder on the bus.

Have fun on tour. I'm envious. I used to work in the live music industry but was limited to managing a concert venue. I always wanted to go out on tour....especially after hanging out on some really cool buses after the shows

When you get to New York throw your gun out with nthe rest of the people in the pile..... Just kidding I stopped and looked but couldn't find one gun, I guess there are a lot of people with illeagle in the state.

Well quick answer is in the States that don't honor your permits you can always use the federal transport law. Unloaded in a case out of reach. No, the bus would defiantly not be considered your home.

For the long answer I'm sure the ask a lawyer, do research, and don't rely on forum member post will follow.
Stay tuned.

Federal Transport law only covers you if you are driving through the state. If you are going to be working in that state or stopping in the state for something other than gas or food, then the Federal law doesn't apply.

Thanks all for the input! I appreciate it all! I think im just gonna have to gamble with a state or two. I'll have it locked away and taken apart in a safe under the bus. Just hope they dont preform a random bus search, which after 7 years of touring I've only had happen once, and when they saw the artist and got their autograph they left quietly! lol

To be sure I would take the time to research this yourself. "For instance " I have a Nebraska conceal carry permit. If I look at some websites that have reciprocity maps. The maps show I'm ok to carry in South Dakota. The reality is I would be committing a felony. South Dakota does not reconise Nebraska permit.
