Info Source for Travel with Weapon

[J4Me]

I'll be traveling through several states with my weapon and need a reliable, accurate source of information on each State's laws. I know which states are reciprocal with Indiana but I'm looking for info on things like, "Must the gun be concealed?"; "Do you have to notify law enforcement if you are pulled over"; "Does your gun have to be secured in any particular manner while in the vehicle?"; "Can you carry in an establishment that serves alcohol", etc. Thanks in advance.

Remember that you lose "safe passage" if you stop in a state for any reason, so unless you are 100% sure you are driving through a state like Illinois, take the appropriate precautions.

The interstate firearms transportation act allows for "safe passage" as stated above, but you do not lose its protection while making reasonable stops, for example restroom breaks, fueling, etc. I've been an OTR truck driver for the last 6 years and have traveled the lower 48 quite extensively with a gun at all times. Even had a few times at scale houses where the state trooper/police admired my gun and conversed quite extensively about the laws and our shared hobby.
