Should I take my handgun with me on my car camping trip? I can't get a concealed carry permit in my county. But their brochure did say it's OK to have it in my car and my house. I know that the next county over (Denver) says it's illegal to have the gun in your car unless your moving your domicile, or you are going to/from the shooting/hunting range. They confiscate your car and contents if they catch you. I know they're nuts, so whaddya do? Is Denver the only wacked out city between the Mississippi and Sierra Madres? It makes only common sense to take one on car camping trips...
