We gun owners know how important it is to have a firearm with us when we travel. This applies to when we travel across the country or within our own state. To transport firearms across the country, you need to be familiar with each state’s gun laws. U.S. LawShield has released a guide on how to travel with firearms. The Travel Guides for Gun Owners will help you plan for a successful trip without being charged.

U.S. LawShield Guides: How to Travel With a Firearm
It is important to know which states require firearms to be unloaded and locked while traveling with them. Some states won’t recognize a firearm that you have a CCW/CPL or firearm in your state.
U.S. LawShield offers both state-specific as well as national travel guides to help lawful gun owners stay safe. These guides are designed to help you understand the firearm laws at both the state and national levels.
Kirk Evans, President of U.S. LawShield says, “Don’t wait until the last minute to plan for your guns as you prepare for your trip.” We created state-specific guides to help people understand the law in each state.
These guides provide information about how each state handles firearms, ammunition, and whether firearms can be unloaded. They also inform you which states allow firearms to be easily accessible in the passenger compartment.
The following topics are included in the Travel Guide for Gun Owners:
Permits/licenses that are recognized by specific states. State laws you should be aware of, including vehicle carry, duty notification to law enforcement, open and concealed carry laws. Federal laws you should be aware ofCarrying in National ParksTransferring firearmsTransporting firearms from one state to another and the Safe Passage provision. Flying with a firearm, including TSA requirements warnings and how to pack ammo
If you’re planning a road trip, you should download the national travel guide as well as the guides for each state. The national travel guide does not contain gun laws for each state, but only federal law and tips for interstate travel. Each state guide outlines the laws and reciprocity laws for each state.
Evans stated that “Unfortunately, not all states have a common-sense approach to gun laws.” “Be sure to take the time to study the laws before you set out on the road. They are different everywhere.
