How much ammo do you bring when traveling?
So heading out of town to visit my son where my state permit is honored in his state so bringing my EDC.
I carry a 442-1
I plan on bringing two speed strips and two speedloaders
So when you travel how much ammo do you bring with you? (assuming you are not headed to a shooting match or something)

I usually fly, so ammunition must be in original or similar packaging.
So I always bring a full box.

Curious
So when you fly you have a suitcase and a gun case inside the suitcase, correct?
So do you keep the ammo in the case with the gun or in your suitcase?

When flying, the gun or guns are in gun rugs in my checked suitcase.
Ammunition is in original boxes or MTM caseguards which are placed in the same checked suitcase
The suitcase is a hard shell Samsonite with a (non-TSA) keyed lock on each side and a combo lock under the handle

Ammo in the case with the gun…
…with that inside the suitcase. In original box in which ammo was purchased.
Both the gun/ammo case and the suitcase are hard sided and locked. With TSA, locks to be specific.
Be safe.

Driving, full magazine plus 1 in Glock 19 and second 15 round magazine. Assuming if I need more ammo, it will be available on the road.

Sig M18 with eighteen loaded and two twenty-one backup mags.
Side note: Back-in-the-day we were taught to never carry an autoloader without a spare magazine.

When driving, I carry a couple of speed loaders with me. Unusually a full box in the back of the SUV, that is in case when I get where I am going we may do some shooting. When flying to visit friend, I borrow a carry gun from them.

If a revolver one extra speed strip, If a semi-auto the 15 in the gun is enough.
Not planning to get into a firefight with a heavily armed mob of mutants, but only want to save my butt in an emergency so that should be all I need.

Er….driving to northern Illinois to visit family, I typically tighten my tinfoil hat and bring a few extra guns, plural. And extra ammo (but not as much to drag down gas mileage a lot).
But I usually go shooting while on the visit. Nice to have options while at the range.
……..
Seriously, when traveling by vehicle alone, typically 2-3 handguns and 50 rounds for each. Kind of hard to discreetly bring a long gun into a hotel room.
And don’t forget your go-bag: flashlight, water, food, hiking boots, and seasonal clothing. Never know when you may have to walk home.

Take down rifles work well.
And it depends how you define “long gun”. The ATF sure can’t make up its mind.

I use the typical hard- or soft case for that and carry it into the hotel like everything else. I don't try to be discreet; I carry it in plain sight. If the hotel has an issue with it, they can come talk to me, but I damn sure won't leave it in the vehicle, in an unsecured parking lot, overnight. I can take my money somewhere else if it bothers them. So far, I've never had an issue.
Granted, haven't done that in D.C. or NY yet, but I would w/o hesitation.

My wife and I are full-time rv'ers. I travel with several j frames and a k frame revolver. All of them are, of course, chambered in either .38 special or .357 mag. I haven't counted lately, but I'm pretty sure that I've got around 100 for each caliber. However, I only get back home about once a year to restock, so my situation is different. Fortunately, I have never needed to restock and hope that I never have too.

I almost always have something very similar, except I usually have an old Model 36 along instead of a 442. 15-20 rounds seems like plenty. If I happen to take an auto pistol for some particular reason, I usually bring one extra magazine, which typically amounts to 15-30 cartridges total.

Traveling carry is the same as EDC. Hubby and I both carry a CZ PCR with spare mag, so 58 rounds between us.
Edit: hasn't occurred yet but if we traveled to wilderness, we would add a 686Plus and two reloads for each of us. Same as woods walks here, so 42 more rounds of 180gr. .357 between us.

Half of my kids/grandkids live in New Jersey, NOT ONE ROUND!
When traveling for vacation to a free state, Standard EDC 5 in a J-Frame, 8 in a speed strip. Plus recreational fire power! Usually a 4 gun "set" of 45 LC/12 gauge about 1200 rounds. OR 2 Sporting Clays shotguns and around 1000 rounds of ammo! In other words, 5 days worth.

Usually none, but I'm going to change that because Ohio has great reciprocity with CCW. Problem is one of my relatives live in Cali so can't go there with any CCW Florida kind of has reciprocity.

Last time I was in Pa. visiting a friend who has a CCW, he could not carry in Ohio and they could not carry in Pa. But the guy from Florida could carry in both......go figure. I was the duty ccw wherever we went.

I don’t leave home without a go bag anymore, it holds a Pc Carbine, and a security 9. Both using the same 17 round mags. 8 mags loaded and a box of spares. So 136 rounds in my backpack and 13 plus one in my waistband.
I’m prepared for most imaginable circumstances.. I just wanna get home to my family and gear.

Consolevault in my Suburban always contains a 9mm with 5 loaded mags secured vertical by a magnetic strip. Behind a panel in the back is a breakdown Ruger .22 with a half dozen boxes of ammo. When flying I do not bring a handgun, as I only fly when heading out of country.

With a DA revolver, enough for what's in the gun, a full speed strip, and two extra reloads in an ammo wallet.

Multiple night trips.......
649 pocket + 2 speedloaders , Browning hp in gear bag 2 x mags.
Banjo case in trunk , could not play a note of music if life depended on it.
But if life depends upon it the Remington 7615 is the instrument at hand.
Only problem carrying my bango case in to the hotel one night out in Colorado and a fellow said he and a couple of buddies were going to pick in the lobby and asked me to join them. Made my excuse, too tired.
We live in very strange times.

I at one time had a violin case that was carried around. In the case was an M1A1 Carbine and five 15 shot magazines. Got stupid and sold it.......

I don't fly, so all my traveling is by truck. I bring my EDC and two extra magazines, as well as a secondary weapon with two extra mags packed away in my bags.

I’m kind of weird, different, strange, you decide. I don’t fly. We drive to Florida for four months a year. I take Five guns reloads for each. Many reloads. Also I shoot in Florida. I took 700 rounds of 9mm and a couple hundred 38spl. I shot the 700 9mm. So ordered another 1,000. I don’t do a lot of other traveling. If I go somewhere for a weekend, no shooting involved, just my carry guns would go. My XDM3.8 or Glock26 for the waist. Each has several mags. I carry one extra and have a bag with the others. A pocket J-Frame never leaves me and a speed strip is also carried. The ammo bag also has more strips and speed loaders. Every day run around would be, one of the semis in my belt with extra mag and J-Frame in my pocket with extra speed strip.

Beautiful Citabria. I got my tail wheel endorsement almost thirty years ago in an Aeronca 7DC and later flew a Citabria. Some of the most fun flying I’ve ever done.

I am very near retirement so I do not fly anymore unless I have to in an emergency. When driving somewhere I will take one fully loaded carry gun, one full standard capacity mag, one extended mag, one holster, one mag pouch, one flashlight, and my badge/creds. I also take one case that does not look like a pistol case that will hold all of the above. That will likely be unused, but I want it available if I need it.
The holster will be an AIWB. I have come to like that form of carry after many years of resisting it because it allows quick and easy access anywhere, including driving. I have managed to keep all of my upper body above and behind my belt so I am able to carry a full size auto AIWB comfortably with the right holster, although I do mostly carry a compact off duty. There are many reasons NOT to have a weapon in your vehicle and it NOT be on your person, but that is another discussion. I used to keep one in the truck, but AIWB and seeing first hand some of the cons suffered by others has eliminated that for me.
If something comes up that I need to use it, I suspect the reason for my trip will be over at that point and I would not need more. If for some reason I do I will source it locally. If I feel that there is a possibility that I will encounter something that will require more ammo than that….. I stay home.
If I am staying somewhere like a cabin for a week or two, I will take along a small PCC, possibly a can (state dependent), and 4 full mags in a discreet case. When I leave the cabin it gets locked up in my vehicle with me (trunk or lockable storage bolted to the truck) , and comes back inside when I return.

zonker5 and anyone else who depends on a pistol for self defense with no spare mag. What happens if you get that rare, but does happen, the dreaded double feed?
In tactical training on the third round with a 15 round mag it happened to me. Only once in over 10 years, but without that spare mag I would be out of the fight and probably dead. Just sayen.

If the pistol is jammed up with a double feed, it is better to have a second (backup pistol or revolver). Just sayen..........

I've always got a emergency backpack in the car with me. I typically have a spare mag or speed loader with me, then a hundred rounds in the backpack.

AJ: Great point, but I can strip out the mag, clear the gun and insert a new mag in seconds. Faster than dropping gun and getting another, but thanks for the suggestion!

In another lifetime I taught a "Combat Pistol Course" for the Marine Corps. We were taught by the folks at GunSite. Don't bet you are faster clearing a jam than I am at drawing another gun. By the time most jams are cleared the gun fight is over.
