Hotels
Best practices and the laws that apply when you're staying overnight with a gun.
Why it matters
Which gun laws could you be breaking without knowing it?
Good people end up in court over gun laws they didn’t know existed. Two examples:
Called to New Jersey to help, then arrested
Brian Fletcher co-owns a company that repairs cell towers. When a storm left half a million people in New Jersey without power, his crews responded. He was arrested there for doing something he’d been taught to do back home in North Carolina.
A Texas permit didn't travel to New York
Elizabeth Elderli, a former U.S. Marine from Houston, visited the 9/11 Memorial with two handguns in her backpack. Her Texas permit covered them and she believed it was valid in New York. When she saw the no-firearms sign, she told a police officer about them. She was arrested and charged with felony weapon possession, facing 3½ to 15 years in prison.
It isn’t only New York and New Jersey. States with a gun-friendly reputation, including Texas, Florida and Alaska, have laws that can trap an otherwise law-abiding visitor. A felony conviction can cost you the right to own a gun for good.

What the pros say about it
Customer reviews
From people who carry it
I bought the E version and love it. I do volunteer disaster relief work and may head to one state and depending on what the storm does the destination may be changed to a different state. Having the E book on my phone I can easily check the laws before I enter the state.

I am a Concealed Carry Handgun Permit Instructor. I will definitely be using this book in my classes as a reference source. Quick and easy to compare states, especially the summary pages in the back of the book.

I loved the hardcover book. Looked over it thoroughly. Had much valuable info. Checked out the five states I frequently travel through. Learned a few things I didn’t know.

This book has a lot of information in it. Good to take on a long trip. We bought 2 of them, 1 for the house and 1 for the car.

This answers a lot of questions about different states and their carry guidelines. It, to us, is a must have for traveling and for home state updates also. The e-book is a great way to take along on our laptop when traveling.
