I'm leaving Florida for a vacation in Pennsylvania and would like to know if I can carry my pistol legally in all of the states I'll be traveling through.
Be sure to read the details because while you may be able to carry in some states, the prohibited places may be different. Also some states may have different requirements like I believe you are required by law to inform law enforcement that you’re carrying in South Carolina.
Wow, member since 2014 but your first post! Welcome to FCC from Palm Beach County, jabomano! :wave
Not knowing your route of travel, it's hard to answer with certainty. However, check http://handgunlaw.us for each state you're traveling through.
I personally use the App called "CCW Concealed Carry 50 State" available from your favorite App store, costs only $2 and once purchased, you can load it on all of your electronic devices.
Also, if you are going to be near the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia, be very careful. If you are headed north on N Independence Mall E, pass the mint, miss your turn and accidentally go straight, you will be going to New Jersey, like it or not. You are not legal in NJ and if you have hollow point ammo with you (who doesn't) then you are doubly screwed.
I'm looking at the Google map of the area around the US Mint, and I'm having trouble figuring out how you would actually do that (i.e. miss the turn). It seems the only way would be to travel north on S. 5th street, pass the mint on the right, and continue straight onto the on-ramp for the Benjamin Franklin bridge. Yes, you would be going to NJ if you did that.
And to the OP, yes, you NEVER want to bring any firearms into NJ. NEVER! Worse then MD!
