Cool. That is what I suspected the purpose of noting the state rules were. Basically to say "rules vary state to state, if you plan on stopping for an extended period of time, this is what you need to know about these states (or cities)."
And yes, there will be times when the State authorities ignore (or more likely are oblivious to) the Federal provisions. But then, there are alot of times when local LE is oblivious to State preemption. One somewhat useful precaution may be to carry copies of the Federal and/or State rules that you intend to operate under. Not that it would help someone once they are cuffed and stuffed, but it may keep the situation from escalating that far to begin with.
Thumbs up on the call to the NRA.
