Last year I made three round-trips from my home in SC to Maine to work on my brother-in-law's vacation home, a total of 6600 road miles in 10 states. Some of those states have reciprocal agreements with SC; in those states, I familiarized my self with what their laws say about encounters with police while armed, just in case. In the states where my license was no good, the gun was put in a small locked case and stowed in luggage in the trunk of my car.

But my main defense against encountering any sort of problem with police was -- I avoided getting stopped. I learned long ago that it takes 18 hours to make the drive whether I keep to the speed limit or push it, so while I avoid delays wherever possible I basically strive to conduct myself as the safest, most low-profile driver on the road. So far, so good!
