Traveling out of your state with a firearm can be intimidating to the lawful gun owner because of the myriad of different laws in effect across our country. Fortunately, some good resources exist to protect the traveler from unintentional legal violations. Hopefully you can benefit from this information before starting your summer vacation!
The broadest protection for the traveling gun owner is the federal “Peaceable Journey” law. In short, it is legal to transport a firearm in a vehicle anywhere in the United States if it’s legal for you to own/carry that firearm where you’re coming from and where you’re going. The firearm must be unloaded, secured, and stored in a separate compartment of the vehicle (if possible) from the driver.
However, beware of legal twilight zones such as Chicago, IL, NYC, NY, and the People’s Republic of New Jersey. These places, and some others, have earned a well deserved bad reputation for ignoring the Peaceable Journey statute and criminally charging out of towners who unknowingly violate the strict local gun prohibitions. In these cases an ounce of prevention is certainly worth a pound of cure.
Reciprocity for CCW permits is another level of protection for those who travel armed. Not all states recognize other state’s carry permits, so use caution here as well. Be sure to check a good resource (preferably online as a hard copy publication may be out of date) and plan accordingly. If unclear, stowing your gun in accordance with the federal statute should help you avoid any potential trouble if stopped by an officer.

We are blessed to be in a position where we can be picky about who we partner with here on JTT. The companies that you see on the right side of your screen are all companies that we trust to take care of you with great products and great service. The newest company that we are privileged to partner with is Echo Nine Three.
ARS built AKM with Echo93 V3 Sling Plate and Dual Mode Sling
Echo Nine Three offers several products and services but they are most known for their sling plates. I have and use several of them and I feel that they are the best rear sling mounting points available for AK pattern rifles. There is no better solution.
In addition to the sling plates, Echo Nine Three offers the Dual Mode Sling, training, gunsmithing, and a really slick AR-15 lower receiver. Their lowers really fill a niche that is missing on the market. There are tons of lowers on the market with crazy graphics and gaudy logos but the Echo Nine Three M416 lower receiver is plainly marked. Not everyone wants a zombie pirate holding a chainsaw laser-etched on their lower.
We’re thrilled to introduce Echo Nine Three as our newest partner here on JTT. Check out Echo93.com and the Echo Nine Three Facebook Page.
SAVANNAH, GA—July 2, 2012—Blue Force Gear® announced today that they will provide their weight-slashing Helium Whisper™ technology to Velocity Systems. Velocity is the first company to license Blue Force Gear’s patent pending Helium Whisper and this technology will enhance the products they currently provide to elite users.
“Helium Whisper ushers in a new category of MOLLE by eliminating the weight penalty of modular military load carriage,” said Ashley Burnsed, Blue Force Gear’s CEO. “It creates the kind of weight savings our troops need to improve their performance and survivability. Velocity Systems shares our passion for delivering revolutionary products to the finest customers on the planet and their experience and integrity made them the perfect first choice for licensing our lifesaving technology.”
“We are excited about this teaming,” said David Strum, President of Velocity Systems, “Helium Whisper is an incredible advancement in design and material use and we are ecstatic to be a part of it. This technology will provide tangible benefits to our customers and keep our pouches on the cutting edge of performance. It is always great to work with like-minded people who care about what they do and who they are doing it for and Ashley Burnsed and his team at BFG are “top shelf” people making this teaming an absolute must.”
Helium Whisper allows modular pouch backs to be constructed from a single piece of high-performance laminate versus the multiple straps and snaps of outdated designs. This amazing breakthrough increases strength and durability of pouches while eliminating failure points and reducing weight by up to 60 percent. Helium Whisper licensing allows OEM customers to reduce sewing costs, minimize alignment errors, maintain or increase durability, and stay relevant to today’s weight-conscious military customers.
