It certainly helped us with our 2011 taxes.

But for gun 'storage' is is a home or a motor vehicle?

I can have a loaded gun in my house, no problem. In a motor vehicle the rules can be different. Here in PA we are an 'open carry' state - so strap on a six gun like the old west and go for a walk - completely legal. Get in your car - now you just broke the law as you cannot legally have a loaded weapon within reach.
What is 'within reach' is the question of course. If it's in the trailer you're probably OK, but if you're in a motorhome where you can walk about there may be no place 'out of reach' as far as a some hard-azz cop is concerned.

Once upon a time we used to camp in the most isolated and secluded places. You could get up in the mornings and have coffee by the campfire and listen to the sounds of nature and admire the natural beauty around you without seeing a sign of civilization. Today we only camp at private campgrounds or where there are campground hosts and rangers. Saddens me to remember the beauty we have left behind.

I still camp at the isolated and secluded places you spoke of. I love Wyoming! I still carry my firearm though.

The US Concealed Carry Association web site has several links to other sites that have the information you seek. Google it for the link.

As a CC permit holder licensed in PA, Utah, and Florida, I can carry in most states. There are still states that prohibit any kind of carry (Like IL). Also, if you camp on military bases, each base has different rules. Some have complete bans; others have you check into and out of the armory.

As a class, CC permit holders are some of the most responsible and safe folks to be around. Hours of range practice and courses by certified instructors are a requirement in most (not all) states that have carry permits. Most likely someone you know (USA anyway) is carrying right now. Unless he or she trusts your judgment or has an accidental "print" you most likely will never find out either.

Unless of course your life is suddenly in danger and they come to your rescue.

So when you guys say you're "packin", a suitcase is not necessarily involved.

America > Canada.

And we don't feel bad for you.

Well, America gave the finger to Britian, and a bunch of British Patriots fled to Canada. They took their liberal ideas about taxes, nanny states, national healthcare, and let it spread up there like a cancer.

Then look down their noses at us?

Besides, what are the non-gun owners going to do in the Zombie Apocalypse?

I think you'll also find that many campsites have their own rules and regs for bringing a firearm inside. Not that you would get in legal trouble if you did, but I generally respect their wishes. My guns don't go in, and neither do my dollars.

[campnqueen]

When it comes to MY "personal" safety... you can bet your sweet ***** that I am carrying! Easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission. I will take my chances getting caught...better to have one when you NEED one than not have one when you need it!
Remember: when seconds count... the police are minuets away! NUFF SED!

[campnqueen]

When guns are outlawed... only the outlaws will have guns!

[OldCoot]

This needs to be hung on the campers of CC members campers.

Where's the like button? Couldn't agree more. Just ask the places where they are outlawed!

Actually, firearms are permitted in National Parks:
see:

Laws & Policies - Yellowstone National Park


FIREARMS IN PARKS


"As of February 22, 2010, a new federal law allows people who can legally possess firearms under applicable federal, state, and local laws, to legally possess firearms in this park.
The Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009, was enacted May 22, 2009 and will become effective February 22, 2010. Section 512 of this law; Protecting Americans from Violent Crimes, supersedes the uniform treatment of firearm possession in the national park system outside Alaska under the regulations found at 36 C.F.R. 2.4.
It is the responsibility of visitors to understand and comply with all applicable state, local, and federal firearms laws before entering this park. Yellowstone encompasses parts of Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. Each state has different regulations and these are listed below.
Federal law also prohibits firearms in certain facilities in this park (such as visitor centers, government offices, etc.); those places are marked with signs at all public entrances. Hunting and discharge of firearms remain prohibited in Yellowstone National Park.
Firearms should not be considered a wildlife protection strategy. Bear spray and other safety precautions are the proven methods for preventing bear and other wildlife interactions."


Be sure that you comply with all State and local laws, however!


The US Concealed Carry Association https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/travel/ has an excellent page regarding travel and State reciprocity agreements.


Know the law!

This is a pretty diverse group here on the forum. One thing I have to say is that those that believe in our 2nd Amendment right is alive and well!

[OldCoot]

Yes it is a diverse group here and what is so wonderful about Canada & the US of A is we can both pretty much go where we want, do what we please as long as we do no harm to someone else. Not many countries allow that kind of freedom. I thank the good Lord everyday for that privilege and salute all veterans that have served or given the ultimate sacrifice to protect that freedom.

[campnqueen]

Hey y'all...its not like I go in waving my piece around!
I play it down low... keep it under cover... not mention to a soul. I have it "just in case". Remember: its only illeagle if you get caught! BE COOL!!

[campnqueen]

Govern yourselves accordingly!
