I know this has been discussed in several other forums, but after searching, I did not find the information I am looking for.
Specifically, I will be traveling in my class A through the states of New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut (among others). The firearms laws in these states are very strict and confusing to say the least. I plan on carrying only my shotgun for personal defense, and my CPL from Michigan is not given reciprocity by any of these states, so why bother to take a handgun at all. While driving, I plan on having the shotgun unloaded and locked, with the ammo locked in a separate container. Once stopped and connected, I plan to load the shotgun and have it at my bedside at night.
Does anyone have authoritative knowledge of the laws in any of these states that would apply to my situation? Is it allowed to transport a shotgun unloaded in an RV? Once stopped, is it lawful to have a loaded shotgun in the RV?
Any references would be appreciated. I tried reading the statutes themselves, but it still is not clear to me what is/is not allowed for non-residents.
Thanks,
