if any states honor each others ccw permits

In part, not word for word...


Most states do not recognize "carry permits" issued by other states. But many states with concealed carry licenses will recognize the out of state carry permits of travelers under certain conditions. The reciprocity & recognition is different from state to state, if you tell me which states you are interested in I can tell you what they are.

I mean if you are coming from Michigan to Alabama your permit is recognized here, so let me know.

it is my understanding

that a motor home is considered your home
so those same rules would apply.

But things change so much and frequently
by those little additions in our goverments
it is hard to stay current

You are correct, to a point......A question that is often asked by RV owners is whether their RV's are considered vehicles or residences. Most states statutes consider RVs to be readily mobile and thus subject to all firearms laws concerning vehicle travel. But courts have held that RVs in a fixed state, ie. hooked up to water and sewer and other utilities are considered residences. Owners should keep that in mind so they are aware of what their classifications are at any given time. A lot of states will allow "loaded" firearms posession in a person's home but prohibit it in a person's vehicle.

Sometimes references are made to the trunk transport of firearms. Usually RV owners say "I don't have a trunk". Most states do not directly address that issue. RV owners should think of their outside compartments as having the same legal status as their vehicle's trunk, because a trunk is something that requires a person to leave their vehicle in order to get to it. So if a reccommendation is made to carry a firearm in a person's trunk, RV owners should take this to mean an outside locked compartment. This means class A and class C vehicles. As far as 5th wheels and travel trailers, those could be inside the trailer because you still have to exit the towing vehicle.

Hope you know better than to come through Illinois, Mayor Rain Man is pushing hard to make the rest of the state as "gun-free" and "safe" as Chicago. Just had Chicago public school student #29 gunned down this year, so Rain Man and the Reverend Jackson are hot on the trail of those of us who own guns legally.

Unfortunately lowbatts, you are very correct here Illinois is one of the toughest states to commute through. If anyone gets pulled over in this state and you are asked if you have any weapons, it's up to you how to answer, but I wouldn't say oh yeah, I got a pistol in the trunk, I'd just say no sir & just be happy to get a ticket & move on!
