Hi everyone:
I am a resident of Arizona. I do not have a CCW permit as it is not required. I will take the course in September however.
I plan a car trip in a week that will take me from the Phoenix area to upstate New York.
I plan to travel thru the following states: New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and New York.
I have read about the nightmare that is New York, so I may leave my revolver with a friend in Ohio and pick it up on the way home.
What kind of a nightmare am I creating for myself by carrying a 38 revolver
and how might I carry in each state to keep myself out of trouble with LEO.
Where can I carry in a car concealed loaded or unloaded and what should I avoid doing.
If stopped for a traffic infraction or a flat tire do I volunteer I have a weapon in the car? Or not ?
If we end up with a financial meltdown because of the idiots in Washington, I really don't want to leave my personal protection at home.
I took the CCW course in Colorado when we lived there and the instructor said he would rather be alive in a jail cell as opposed to dead in the morgue. A sentiment I agree with.
Any help, suggestions and personal experience would be greatly experienced.
Doug
