First of all, my apologies in advance to the moderator, this should probably be in legal and political or perhaps the handgun forum.
My wife and self are planning to take a trip out from Atlanta to the Carolina coast by car. This is out of state for us on all counts as we reside in Penn.
I had discounted being able to carry CCW or even carry a loaded handgun in the car, and yes, I've checked the various websites that give state by state and travellers instructions for the "transportation" of firearms across state boundaries and none of them gave me any hope, having a .45 locked in the trunk with the ammo separate is not my idea of a readily accessible firearm for those occasions when Bubba sticks his head in my car window at a stop sign and asks for my wallet. Even my wife (who is not a shooter) surprised me yesterday by saying that it would give her some peace of mind if we could have a gun to hand for our journey, particularly when travelling through Georgia which holds some rather unpleasant memories for one of our neighbors. So here I am guys, it's either go unarmed (unlikely) or face 10 years in the slammer with Atlantas finest felons for getting caught carrying a loaded gun in the car. Anyone found a legal way around this one ?
Thanks in advance.
