Road Tripping with Guns - January 10, 2019

1 hour 5 minutes

In this episode Kevin and Tom discuss the gun-related laws of the road ranging from road trips to stopping at the post office. Knowing the firearms and self-defense laws for every city, county, and state you pass through is your responsibility as a gun owner. Learn things like your Second Amendment rights while traveling in RVs and whether you should record your accredited training hours as a defense in the aftermath of a shooting. Find out if your carry gun should have modifications and if using handloaded ammunition for self-defense is a good idea. Other topics covered include how bail bonds work, TSA and guns, and concealed carry reciprocity between states.
