RVing out of state with a handgun

[ChrisTKHarris]

Hello all,

My parents are at that age where they've begun to RV. My father is interested in purchasing a handgun for protection and I had a few questions about the legality of having it in the vehicle.

They are using a Class B motor-home in which it is a van conversion that has the cab attached to the cabin.

Are they legally allowed to keep a loaded firearm inside of the vehicle as it is considered a "home" according to tax laws, not just a car?

Does anyone know the laws regarding traveling across state lines while possessing a California registered handgun?

Thanks guys

The laws of each state differ. No easy answer.

Have they thought about getting non-resident CCW licenses? That would cover them in quite a few states.

No haven't thought of that, but that might be a good idea.

Something like this one?

This class is for the Utah and Florida concealed carry permits which are available to residents of any state. The course is $100.00. If you would like the course, passport photos, notary and fingerprints the fee is $140.00. There is no range time for this course. Please do not bring any firearms to class. The Utah and Florida permits combined are recognized in 32 different states for those that are not residents of Utah or Florida!

Payment guarantees you a seat in class.

Payment can be made by credit or debit card through my web site on the following page:

That's the one. There are other states that offer non-resident CCW licenses that the Utah and Florida ones don't cover. Nevada comes to mind. That little extra piece of mind means quite a bit.
