If you are talking concealed carry, reconition of your states ccw varies. Some will not reciprocate. The best advise is to call the state police or a lawyer in each state you plan on passing through to have a better idea.
Friggen sad that you have to be a lawyer just to exercise your 2A right.
I run into this every time I visit two of my kids in VA and DC. I travel GA legally with my CC, have a peaceful journey thru SC, can carry in NC, have a peaceful journey to daughter #1 house in VA, stash my heat and drive into DC to see daughter #2. I'm in the process of getting my CC non ressident license in VA, more states reciprocate with VA since they require firearms training to get their CC. In GA all you need is $$ and no felonies.
In states that don't reciprocate with GA I don't leave my vehicle except for gas stops at well lighted stations. On my last trip to DC earlier this month I was accosted at a rest area in NC at 2am. I displayed my handgun and the jerk took off. Otherwise I'm a target- grey haired, overweight man with a cane. (and NO, don't confuse me with Phatt)
Most states that don't reciprocate have a peaceful journey doctrine. You store the handgun in one inaccessable part of the vehicle and the ammo in another. That is except NY and DC. They'll roast you for even thinking about a handgun.[V]

Big plus one Whompuss! here in florida, we definately have the peaceful journey law! and ignore that little AKFANATIC kid, 3-7 years in prison is no joke, and you have your right to own firearms in general stripped from you. AKFANATIC, people come here with serious questions, you do them no good, and gun owners in general no good service by suggesting that they break the law. Grow Up.
Now, 2A says it is legal which supposedly the constitution is the overriding factor in our "free" country, however we all know this not to be true and that if an unconstitutional law is the law that is observed, we are not free.
Now, if I am to obey the law, but to do this I am potentially sacrificing my families lives, .....forget it!
Besides, the NRA will come to my rescue if I am caught exercising my rights, right?
Oh well, "better to be judged by twelve (and family still alive) than carried by six". And that's a fact!

NOT- by following every unconstituional law every state throws up in your way to limit that right, you give them permission to do so. Break the law at will. I will admit to doing just that and can be found armed most everywhere.LIVE FREE!!!!!
LIVE FREE!!!!!
OR DIE
God bless NH..
