    I'm running in Nevada and Arizona and would like to carry an unloaded long gun on my motorcoach. Is it legal?

    What if my drivers or passengers want to carry unloaded long gun?

    Then that's something you gotta answer. A motorcoach full of empty long guns just doesnt sound very.... professional. What's the point of an empty gun? Also, food for thought, if your gun is empty and your passengers weapons arent... it looks like you are outgunned.

    This would come down to company policy correct?
    Nevada requires that the chamber be clear, but you can have the tube or magazine loaded.
    Arizona doesn’t care either way.
    Where would you store it? You would need to store it outside the range of kids and felons, really limits the options.

    Is this a private coach? You could stow a long rifle under the coach in a case with no issues. If it is a for hire coach I think the passengers might get upset if you are shooting prairie dogs on your break.

    These are all questions I’d find out before ever driving a bus. Seems that you have many questions you’re just going to wing it

    I would not do it.



    There are many other considerations when it comes to guns. You better have a private motor coach. Not a public bus that might contain children and felons. Or those with guns themselves. Buses generally are checked in places as part of homeland security against drugs and so forth and most dogs will sniff out a gun easily enough.

    I know a little bit. But I do not know enough to give you a definite answer.

    Finally, do not take advice from the internet. Ultimately it is YOU that will be paying for any mistakes made by yourself taking a gun somewhere. In form of hard time etc.

    What about drywall guns? Or bubble guns? Do you support them as well?

    What about futuristic guns? Guns to kill? Guns for laughter? Guns for food? Guns to save the boobies? Glue guns? Nail guns? Staple guns? Taser guns?

    What about the POINT OF VIEW GUN?
