    i understand that we can carry while in states that recognize our permits, but what do we do with the weapon when traveling thru a state that does'nt ? locked up in a box unloaded be sufficient to stay legal ?

    yes that is what you would need to do. The magazines do NOT have to be empty but they can not be in the mag well or touching the weapon and they DO NOT need to be locked up ONLY THE WEAPON DOES, the magazine is not a weapon and neither is the ammo. Both are perfectly legal to carry.

    In Ohio, if you do not have a license and are just transporting, magazines CAN NOT be loaded! Both the weapon, and the rounds/magazines, can now be in the same case, but not loaded. As has been said a million times, KNOW EACH STATE LAWS.

    The only reason to carry a handgun. A cop is too heavy.
