We can't even put the gun, unloaded, in a locked safe in the vehicle if we go into DC/VA. Gotta be careful and plan your day accordingly.

I can't be out in Arlington then decide, "Oh, I need to go to DC or MD for something." You have to go home first, un-arm, then go back out.

I need to be careful about this if I'm out with my gf because she'll whine and say something like, "it's no big deal, no one will know" if she wants to go to MD/DC from where we are out in VA, but it is a huge ******* deal!!!

If done right it's probably not a bad idea.

But of course legalizing OC and CC would solve the problem completely.

I'm pretty sure (and according to the MD state police) you can carry it in a locked safe if the ammo is not accessible.



Q. Can I legally transport firearms interstate? (From the MD State Police)
A. Yes, under Title 18, Section 926A, of the United States Code, a person who is not prohibited
from possessing, transporting, shipping, or receiving a firearm shall be entitled to transport a firearm
for any lawful purpose from any place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm to
any place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm if, during such transportation the
firearm is unloaded, neither the firearm nor any ammunition being transported is readily accessible or
is directly accessible from the passenger compartment. In the case the vehicle does not have a
compartment separate from the driver's compartment the firearm or ammunition shall be contained in
a locked compartment other than the glove compartment or console.

I don't know, it just seems like more trouble than it's worth. And to me that seems more like if you are just driving through the state, not, say, driving up to Columbia for the Z meet.

They have a similar write up for other transportation through the state. I agree that it's smart to play it safe though.

"Sure! Take your time. I'll go get a cup of coffee at the Starbucks while I wait. Would you care for a frappuccino?"

At least you can have it in your car, rather than driving home though.

That's silly. Virginia Code says that no city can pass ordinance that would overrule state law regarding carry.

Anyways, I stopped by the gun store today and among other things picked up a Pearce +2 mag extension to try. It's nice in that I can get a full grip on the gun with the extension, but it's really only a +1. No way to get 2 in there.

As much as everybody gets on VA about silly laws, we are pretty 2A friendly. I'm a big McDonnell fan.
