Interstate carry

[Argent]

I need clarification if anyone knows the answer to this question. I plan on doing a road trip from Florida to Savannah,GA then to Atlanta then thru South Carolina and then to North Carolina. My CCW permit is honored in all those states but what has me wondering is the federal interstate rules:

Federal Firearms Transportation Statute
The federal firearms transportation statute basically states that you are allowed to transport a legally owned firearm through any state as long as you meet the following requirements.

1. Your weapon is kept unloaded and stored in a separate compartment not readily accessible by either the driver or passengers.

2. Any ammunition is kept separate from location of firearms and is also not readily accessible by either the driver or passengers.

If there is not a separate compartment available in the vehicle then the firearm must be kept in a locked container and stored somewhere other than the glove box or console.


Is it legal for me to carry a loaded firearm in a concealed iwb holster while I drive? Maybe I am looking into the details too much but the federal rules seem to contradict what I can and cannot do in the states.

The federal law is only there to protect you if you travel through a state that has restrictive laws.

As long as you follow the laws of each state you are in at the time, you're good.

Okay I now understand, thank you.
