So, I bought one of those 34' rolling hotels on wheels... trailer, not motor home.

In Illinois, does it count as a "private abode" under the law? E.g. can I keep loaded firearms in it / on me while I'm in it?? Does that only apply to 'motor homes' or does it also apply to trailer campers like I bought?

What about other states (no CCW license)? (Specifically neighboring ones to IL- Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, Kentucky)

What about laws specific to state parks / federal parks?

Thanks in advance.
 
This one's been discussed here before.

(locked & loaded)

I'm interest in this as well. I did a search on camper (in subject and text body) and found too many threads to search through. Did a search for camper on just subjects and did not see anything relevant. Does anyone know the thread that "answerguy" is referring to? Pls. advise.

same here :)
 
I apologize. I was venting after having a thread in Strategies locked with that comment. I had looked for the subject I had posted and had no luck finding it.
I was kind of annoyed by the lack of help locking the thread did me.
 
All I found was this one. Not very long.

Yup, not much help there.

Not as worried while it's rolling behind me - I know how to transport firearms in IL.

I want to know if I go camping in IL, can I LOAD the firearm at night and keep it ready? Or keep a loaded firearm in the camper, at an IL state or federal park?
 
I wouldn't worry about it. Even if you're pulled over for something, that's not probable cause to search your vehicle or trailer. When asked if you'd mind, politely refuse.
