Road trip CCW peculiarities

[Sistema1927]

Yes our "only one concealed firearm" rule here in New Mexico is pretty stupid. We are open carry, and you could (unless in a prohibited place) carry a dozen or more unconcealed weapons on your person, but heaven forbid that more than one of those is concealed.

Our "brain trust" (legislature) meets again beginning next week, and a 14 day waiting period, mag restrictions, and AWB are all up for discussion even though this is only a 30 day "budget only" year. One of these days I am going to pack it in and move either east or west.

In Arizona you don't need a gun permit to carry, BUT if you do get a CCW then you can carry inside a business that serves alcohol as long as you do not consume any AND they do not have a sign posted saying no firearms are allowed. AZ also recognizes a CCW permit from ALL other states.

In AZ the Tribes do not recognize CCW permits and carrying is a violation of Tribal Laws, therefore we seldom drive on Tribal lands in our own State. ... US citizens have no Constitutional Rights on Reservations and are basically entering a foreign country. So what is the best way to avoid any conflicts with the Tribal police?

Lee, as you noted later-on...if you are traversing their land/s on a Gov't road, you are good. I believe that the Navajo now honor the Az permit anywhere you are in The Nation.

Best advice for the several reservations in our state is to carry something you won't cry over when they confiscate from you.

Ha! I'm just now getting used to driving 70-75 on highways and 60 on one lane roads. Or 80 on the toll roads.

If I ever go back east and rent a car I'll have to relearn how to drive on those Yankee roads.

That's for sure. There are plenty of places in MA where 80mph does not qualify you for the left lane, unless you like being passed on the right.

That's for sure. There are plenty of places in MA where 80mph does not qualify you for the left lane, unless you like being passed on the right.

Same for Northeast Illinois. If you're not going at least 75, you better be in the right lane.

Retired and have a regular CCL.

You are 69 years old. I have trouble internalizing the Mogadishu references. Every contractor I am aware of gets out when you're eligible for Medicare

You likely just don't know enough about contracting. I'm not the oldest one in this project; different skillsets required in difficult places are often filled by those of us with experience best measured in decades and numbers of continents on which we've worked.

Having a federal permit system WOULD NOT make the confusion go away. Every state would want and get its on rules as to what, where, ammo, etc etc. My Montana drivers license may well be valid in all 50 states, but I know for a fact I can't drive 70MPH on every states 2 lane and I bet some states would have a baby if I drove my legally street licensed Polaris Ranger on their streets and here we drive them all over. I can pull my camp trailer and have another small trailer hooked behind it here but not in every state.

Here to get a carry permit takes a the same background check as buying a gun, no finger prints and about 4 or 5 days.

The state just made a rule for an enhanced permit, just so our permits will be honored by a few more states. Got to be 21 and a bit more safety and shooting qualification. Spoke with the sheriff about it, here he will actual come to the phone and speak to you or meet you at his office, him the guy who put on NRA gun classes are hashing out a how to get it going. I shoot with the NRA instructor regularly, so called him and I will have any problems once they get a program figured out/

I'd rather that CCWs from every state be recognized as legal in all states under the Constitution's full faith and credit clause just like drivers licenses and marriages.

No need for detrimental federal involvement in their issuance.

Being Ohio born and now residing in Michigan I am well aware that carrying where alcohol is served can be a problem...
Some may consider this an imposition and loss of free will...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that law prevents you from defending yourself even if you are NOT drinking, based solely on your presence at a place that allows drinking. So, no gun at a restaurant dining out, even if you are not drinking. No gun at a bar, if you are there to meet friends and having a soft drink.

Yup, put me in the "loss of rights" column.
