I mostly don't bother traveling with a firearm anymore. It's just another excuse for some Podunk local government to steal my shit and hem me up.
I never saw much use for an AR pistol. I've always wanted an SBR. NOW WITH THE AR PISTOL SPRINGFIELD EDGE NAMELY, I can take it in most states as a pistol with my CCW and not be concerned with arrest. Just know where u r going and laws. I now have my sweet "pistol" all the time!! Due to shoulder it.
My dad used to ask me how many people have you plan on shooting Steve?
All of themQuote:

I carry a handgun every day, every where, if I can’t carry somewhere I probably ain’t going willingly.
My personal rule of thumb is that if I’m going more than an hour away or 100 miles a carbine goes with me along with three loaded magazines. Usually in a Unique Cases breakdown shotgun case because it doesn’t look like a gun case.

My exception is if my vehicle is going to be parked unattended at a trail head or camping area. But then one of my .44 mag or 10mm handguns is going to stand in as a rifle in a holster.
I take a rifle or ar pistol for overnight stays.
Im already packing luggage, dropping the ar in the bottom with a couple mags takes 2 minutes with no downside.
Flying is different. 1 week is about the cutoff for me. Anything more than that conus im bringing a gun, and checking one- might as well be 2.... unless I have a source at the destination.
It really cones down to you- effort required vs risk. I went to Paris with no guns for 9 days and lived. Ive gone to big cities with rifles and dont remember anything of interest about the trip - luggage related.
And the chances of having to use a pistol are already shockingly low. So yeah, put me in the camp of not screwing around with a rifle wherever I go.Quote:

So there's the paranoia of going nowhere unless you are equipped to assault a fortified position, and then there's this kind of paranoia.Quote:
