Handgunlaw.us & Long Guns in Vehicles (Update)

[Gary Slider]

I have been overwhelmed with emails on my posts asking for assistance on carrying a long gun in a vehicle laws/regs. I can’t say thank you enough for all the emails and replies with quality information. If I missed replying to your email I apologize! I believe I answered everyone but with so many it would have been easy to miss one. I ask for info on 29 different state specific Firearm Forums and a dozen non state specific Firearms Forums. Again Thank you!

I have started the process of assembling the information into one document and have been surprised at some of the poor wording in the statutes on long guns. In the Hunting Regulations they were much more understandable.
It will still be a couple months before I am finished. Holidays and Family come first! I will need your assistance again asking you to look at your state and give me feedback on your states entry. This has been more difficult that I believed it would be but seeing the feedback I have received the Sheepdogs out there are very interested in information on carrying a long gun in a vehicle!

Here is a link to the Draft Document. It is not complete. Any feedback you could give me at [email protected] would be greatly appreciated. Thank you AGAIN!
