Motor Home Travel Laws

[Somemedic]

Can anyone think of any special laws regarding RVs and weapons?

With summer here I may travel a bit and thought of a few specific scenarios regarding a motor home.

When you are driving it, the rules for vehicles apply. When you park at a motor home park or campground is where I'm not sure.

If you are ex-military and you camp at a military base they have specific rules regarding firearms.
Would be wise to check in advance.

My Father "borrowed" my 1911A, web belt, holster and 2 spare mags in a 1917 case. Cleaned the gun to become re- trained(USN vet WW2), and carried in a Shasta for CCW. He traveled all over the west: deserts, mountains, and assorted highways. Never needed it, only kept handy when sleeping, and returned it upon the finish of a 6 month vacation. Had a flat tire once, and actually had a Nevada State Trooper assist in the change. He didn't want a Hell's Angel or other wannabe to rob him on the road, as he was 63 yrs old.
Laws? Plenty. Probably broke a few, not knowing all the different states. He did separate the ammo, from the gun, and secured the gun in a locking box, till needed.
Never lost any sleep worrying about the gun.

When parked, he considered it his home, rolling was a vehicle.

Handgunlaws.us has RV information in each state summary sheet.

Each state can have different laws regarding "vehicle carry".

Then each state can have different laws governing a stationary RV. This can also include if firearms / handguns are allowed in any parks at all.

You'll have to look up the laws for each state you plan on being in...if you want to be 100% by the book legal 100% of the time.

A handy 12 gauge means you don't have to worry about handgun laws. They are legal everywhere. Or at least acceptable. Thats good enough for me.

I don't assume the OP was asking about handguns only.

"Legal everywhere...Or at least acceptable"?

Oh boy.
