When traveling?

Recommended Posts

Just curious if when traveling out of state, do any of you ever bring some protection with you? Not necessarily talking about open or concealed carrying as neither would likely happen unless we go hiking into bear country. The wife and I will be heading out of state and staying in a cabin for 10 days, which does have some road access. I'm very used to having something on me when at home, at night, etc...I'm somewhat weary about traveling with it, but it will be secured and locked, an away from ammo.

 

Any input?

I try to only travel to states my Utah permit is good in so I usually bring at least one hand gun and one long gun. However if I have to travel to a place that is not gun friendly like when I go to upstate NY in the fall. I just carry my pepper spray.

I always carry when I can using my Utah permit. Just make sure you can legally have the gun in the state you're going to. Lock it up like normal and drive straight out of the state. Same when coming back lock everything up before nj and go right home.

I don't have a problem  bringing it anywhere where I have reciprocity with Fl. Now, I have it with SC, which protects me all the way up to VA. I'd have to pack thing up FOPA style to get through MD, but once in PA I can return. Now that I'm a FL resident, my FL permit is good in PA as well as SC. However, none of my "inventory" will ever see NJ again... or anywhere beyond there!

I always have a tool kit in my vehicles which includes an "Ultimate Wrecking Bar" and a hefty hammer. Additionally, I am always prepared for a softball game with and aluminum bat. Of course pepper spray is mounted in close reach of the steering wheel.

If you are traveling and have children... How are you locking it away? Is it that you are going to places where it will always be on your person?

 

How about vacationing where you cannot carry?

 

What if you rented a house at the shore for a week? How would you stow it away from the kids? Honestly if I was a perp I think robbing a designated beach rental would be stealing candy from a baby.

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
