Question: How should I transport my firearm in a state I cannot legally carry in?
Answer: When entering a state you cannot legally carry in, if you unload the firearm,
enclose it either in a box or pistol rug and put it in your trunk, you will be legal. Some states
require that you keep the ammo separate from the firearm. If you have a vehicle that does not
have a trunk, put the unloaded firearm in a “Locked Box” and put it behind the seat in a
pickup or all the way in the back of an SUV. See United States Title 18 Part
I Chapter
44
§ 926A on the Interstate Transportation of Firearms. Some states have specific laws about
transporting firearms. To find info about the laws for a given state click on the state on the
