I haven't been on a vacation outside of Indiana or Kentucky since I started to carry on a regular basis. We are going to Alabama later this month and I wanted to check with INGO about CC on this trip. From my research on the internet, it seems like I'm good to go in Alabama and Tennesse and even Mississippi and Georgia if we decide to make any side trips. I just wanted to see if you guys know of anything I might be missing.

On that note, Michigan has a BAC .02 limit while carrying, or even if it is in the car.
If I end up in Michigan on this trip, I know my BAC is too high to carry. LOL
I'll watch for that. I think at least one of the states I checked did restrict carrying in a bar.
As long as you are not Constitutional Carrying and have an Indiana LTCH.
Be aware certain places in Tennessee are not Carry friendly ie Trashville. Also signs Cary force of law unlike Indiana. Additionally would recommend against open carry as well.
Yes, I have an Indiana LTCH
Thanks for the info. We will be driving through Nashville but won't be getting off the highway there. I never open carry. I don't think it's anyone's business that I am carrying. I think it's just asking for some anti gunner to cause you some trouble. I also didn't know about the signs carry force of law in TN.

Confirm with authoritative state sites as needed.
As has been mentioned, for each state I normally refresh myself on 1) prohibited places, 2) whether you must inform if stopped, and 3) whether signs have the force of law.

If you can swing it Briely Parkway is your friend!
I am not anti open carry but just think there is a time and place for it.
If you can avoid refueling in Davidson County that would be a plus.
You're GTG in all the states you mentioned, as they are all Constitutional Carry. If you have an IN LTC, even better.
Things to watch out for. Check these for each state you visit.
-"no guns" Signs have force of law in many states
-statutory prohibited places vary widely state to state. Some are not obvious, especially coming from IN (which has very few prohibited places.)
-Duty to Inform in some states
-Restaurants serving alcohol - a few states ban entirely, many ban for places where > 50% of their income is from alcohol (e.g. bars)
If you have a Smartphone, the CCW - Concealed Carry 50 State app is available for iPhone or Android. It has all the different sections / types of laws for each state, as well as reciprocity.

Carrying in other states is easy when you view "gun laws" as mere suggestions and not actual rules. When someone finds me a California cop carrying a 10 round magazine and a gun off the Ca roster then I might respect these "laws" a bit more.
