When traveling with a firearm, it is easy to run afoul of concealed carry laws which vary from state to state. However, as a responsibly armed American, it is your responsibility to educate yourself on the laws of your home state, your destination, and any states you may pass through while traveling. In the video from Concealed Carry Magazine, “Top Shot” Trainer and former LEO Chip Eberhart discusses three of the most important things to know about traveling with firearms.

00:00 Intro
00:42 While carrying weapons on your person or in your vehicle, traveling through a state may have different laws than traveling to a state.
00:53 What are the three primary concerns when traveling with a concealed handgun?
00:57 Does the state require you to immediately inform police about any weapons?
01:00 Can you lawfully carry a firearm where alcohol is sold or served?
01:03 Where in the state is it prohibited for you to carry a firearm? Be careful, restricted sites might not be obviously posted.
01:14 Even if you’re not required to do so, it may be a good idea to calmly let officers know you are carrying a weapon.
02:05 Never tell an officer you have a ‘gun.’ Always use the phrase “lawfully concealed firearm.”
02:25 Remember, a traffic stop isn’t the time for show and tell. Keep your hands in sight and speak loudly and clearly.
03:03 In some states, failing to inform an officer that you have a weapon can result in felony charges.
03:17 Deeper dive: Carrying a firearm where alcohol is sold or served.
03:29 What is the 50-50 rule when it comes to alcohol sales and firearms?
03:55 Law-abiding citizens take the time to educate themselves about gun laws.
04:02 The third important concealed-carry topic: Does the state have any special restricted locations?
04:14 Call the State Police or Highway Patrol of your destination to ask if there are any new concealed carry laws or ammunition restrictions in their state.
04:38 Bonus tips for traveling with a firearm: Be sure to bring a locking case.
05:57 Taking a screenshot or printing out a website page of gun laws can demonstrate your due diligence.
