Just like when you didn't have a permit, in the trunk of your car unloaded.

Each state is different. I am sure Figmo can elaborate more than I.
some states - the weapon and ammo must be separated and each in a locked box (basically) in the trunk where you can not access it.

This is from New York:
§ 926A. Interstate Transportation of Firearms
Notwithstanding any other provision of any law or any rule or regulation of a State or any political subdivision thereof, any person who is not otherwise prohibited by this chapter from transporting, shipping, or receiving a firearm shall be entitled to transport a firearm for any lawful purpose from any place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm to any other place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm if, during such transportation the firearm is unloaded, and neither the firearm nor any ammunition being transported is readily accessible or is directly accessible from the passenger compartment of such transporting vehicle: Provided, That in the case of a vehicle without a compartment separate from the driver’s compartment the firearm or ammunition shall be contained in a locked container other than the glove compartment or console.

Here is a site that will help all of you that are traveling with firearms. Handgunlaw.us

It is updated with what we all hope is the current information, but if in doubt, call the State AG's office of the state that you will be traveling through and get the current reading of the law. Write down exactly what the AG's office said along with the name of the person who said it. Each state is different, for general knowledge there are a couple links off of our Eustis Gun Club IDPA site (Eustis Gun Club - IDPA) that will help you in all this. If you have specific questions you can PM me and I will try to answer them for you or direct you to someone who can.

The thought that you could be chatting with someone who has had no training, has not had a background check and is "packing heat" should worry you a lot more that someone who has had a background check, some training and knows the concealed carry laws. Let's get real, the world, that includes The Villages, is not all warm and fuzzy, bad things do happen, will happen and do happen. Insurance is insurance. Get the idea.

If you want the knowledge about carrying in Florida, PM me for any information about obtaining a permit, or anyother question that you may have.

Figmo,

I have been thinking about your post since it came online at 5:30 this afternoon. I just can't pull any logic out of it. I don't "Get the idea."

What I can get out of it is that you truly believe in what you are saying. You are also not doing anything against the law.

What I wish for you is that you are never put in a position where you will kill someone, guilty or innocent, with that firearm.

why are you uncomfortable?

The basic questions about the procedures for obtaining a carry permit have been answered. The discussion is once again veering into the "need to carry" debate. This thread will be closed. Feel free to start a new thread on a different topic.
