>>2726252>The issue with the gun is going over various states and needing concealed carry permits for each one.U wot m8?
A good part of your trip is through constitutional carry states.
Colorado is an exception but they seem to allow loaded handguns to be carried in vehicles without a cc permit. North Carolina doesn't but they offer reciprocal carry for people with an interstate permit.
If I've misread the laws in those states then just keep the gun unloaded when you're there. If the gun and ammo are in separate locked containers then you can travel through whatever state you want, that's a federal law.
If you're too young/felonious/mentally defective to legally own a gun then pepper spray and a hammer should do the job.
