We are taking a driving trip that will include the states of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri and Illinois. We will not visit Chicago but could pass through it on one of the possible routes. We would also normally pass through St. Louis.
How do I determine if it is legal to have a shotgun in the car? The shotgun would of course be of legal barrel length, it's not "tactical", and in fact is a side by side, only holding 2 rounds. Ammo could be on a butt cuff, nearby the gun or in a separate package far removed. The vehicle has no separated trunk storage.
Is it legal to bring a shotgun along from state to state on a trip, even north of the Mason-Dixon line? Thank you.
