CCW Trip Planner Website

[justbob]

I stubled onto this excellent tool while searching the Web for state CCW laws prior to my recent cross-country road trip. Gun laws change and more often than not without a lot of attention.

I always double check the current regs and print whatever the SAG and/or SP have posted on their Websites, and then clip them inside the cover of my road atlas, just in case. It is a simple precaution that may save you a lot of time and headaches "down the road."

You just enter the state that issued your permit, select the state(s) you are travelling through/to and click. It will show you the regs that apply, reciprocity aggreements, etc. There are also links to the states' AGs sites, etc., so you can crosscheck the actual statutes yourself.

DISCLAIMER: I am NOT in any way affiliated with Carry Concealed, just wanted to give fellow forumites a heads-up and a shout of THANKS to the Carry Concealed folks.

Thank you for the very useful link. Oregon is very limited at to what states will honor the license.

Nice!

 

[Centenniel]

Interesting site. Thanks for the link.

It's informative and aggravating: I can't drive from PA to Denver CO (where my sister lives) because Kansas and Nebraska block the way.

Barb you could drive from pa to co via wv,ky,tn,ar,ok to co. The round about way.

Are you not allowed to cross state lines while carrying concealed? Or does the following apply only when you don't have a permit?

The federal firearms transportation statute basically states that you are allowed to transport a legally owned firearm through any state as long as you meet the following requirements.

1. Your weapon is kept unloaded and stored in a separate compartment not readily accessible by either the driver or passengers.

2. Any ammunition is kept separate from location of firearms and is also not readily accessible by either the driver or passengers.

If there is not a separate compartment available in the vehicle then the firearm must be kept in a locked container and stored somewhere other than the glove box or console.

That federal reg pertains to allowing you to have the weapon in your vehicle, secured, unloaded in the trunk of your car when traveling across state lines. Nothing to do with concealed carry.

This applies only if your license is not honored in the states that you are driving through.

Thanks for the info. Handy website.

Here's another good one and its information is very reliable. Not only that, but it includes (as much as possible) links to each state's official statutes so you can read for yourself the law.

This CCW trip planner has one error. It states that Kansas does not honor Ohio's license. The Kansas State Attorney General's page says otherwise.
