Editorial Reviews

Product Description

The Traveler's Guide to the Gun Laws of the 50 States is the book that had to be written! Because you are subject to arrest for simply traveling from state to state with a personal firearm, some sort of guide has been badly needed for years. This excellent book covers all the basics for armed travel: vehicles, the glove box, open carry, loaded or not, weapon types, and more.

This book features the complete national reciprocity list, plus a list of every state's Attorney General's office!

Kentucky attorney Kappas has created an indispensable tool, while work is underway to restore our eroded rights. In the future, maybe, if you have a gun and you're not a criminal, that won't violate anything. Until then, get and read The Traveler's Guide to the Firearm Laws of the 50 States which, despite the title, includes Canada & Mexico too!

Read it before a trip, pack it, or leave one in your vehicle, so you know what to expect as you approach each state line. Clear writing gives you the basics for every state in one handy guide. Plus, each state is rated for its relative freedom, based on its gun laws, from zero to 100. See where your state ranks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Helpful and Informative, July 8, 2009

By	George - See all my reviews

I highly recommend this book to anybody who travels with firearms.

This book goes over the basic types of firearms laws found throughout the United States and then lists each state with more detail. For each state one can see: a quick firearms grade (0-100) based on the local legislation, firearm ownership restrictions, AR ownership restrictions, automatic ownership restrictions, right of self defense (Castle Doctrine), open carry regulations, concealed carry regulations and, and vehicle transport/carry, and a half page of writing explaining specific exceptions or details pertaining to the state. Two other handy tools can be found in the back of the book: a list detailing which states will recognize another state's concealed carry permit, and a list of state authorities so that one can update themselves on the ever-changing laws before traveling.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Firearms Law Reference, June 30, 2009

By	David Jones "fly fisher" (New Mexico) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This guide is an essential part of the reference material for anyone that owns firearms, especially if you travel with them or if you carry concealed.

This is a replacement for the one I bought several years ago. The updates to the laws are important to track.

I highly recommend this guide.
