See why we avoid Northeast? MA is really bad for this, and having lived in RI, I remember the first case of a kid bringing his Christmas present to show his friend.

And here's mine...I'm 68 yrs old and have traveled the world, even worked in Taiwan and in Mexico and so far, the only handgun I have ever owned was a .22 cal CO2 pistol - Oh wait, that's not true. I "carried" a .38 special while I was a small town marshal for about a year as part of the job. Regardless, I have never found a need for deadly protection. Too bad so many people feel otherwise.cpeters said:Carry the weapons and make sure that they are loaded. The RV has a bed and is considered a residence.
Better to be safe than dead. I carry mine on my person no matter where I am. The areas that prohibit self defense is where the bad guys hit. Try to avoid these states and cities. Canada and Mexico are off limits as long as they search and confiscate weapons.
Just my opinion!.
Note though that you don't need a handgun for self defense in Canada. Sure in the big cities in the bad areas there are problems. Same if you're a drug dealer. And there are randomish shootings occasionally by gangs firing at each other or associates and missing. But those are pretty much an urban, city problem and not much of a problem in campgrounds or the wilderinesscpeters said:Canada and Mexico are off limits as long as they search and confiscate weapons.

If you can drive your RV right now, it?s a vehicle. If you can start the engine and pull away it?s a vehicle and the laws are the same as a car. Keep you firearm unloaded, locked and stored in an outside compartment.
Pretty much my thinking of the USA. Now the northern parts of Mexico are a different matter. I plan on filling up just before the border and driving until I have to stop for a washroom break.Jim Godward said:The same is essentially true in the US as well.
A friend was with the Salvation Army and was helping out in New Orleans shortly after Katrina. He was driving a Salvation Army canteen truck with lots of signs and was in a rough area. Now he'd heard from senior New Orleans cops which he had been working with that you gotta be careful with the cops there. He got some blue and red lights behind him wanting him to pull over.Jim Godward said:We made a mistake in NJ years ago and got off one off ramp too soon. The police picked us up with in a block or 2 and escorted up out of that bad area.

As a Canadian i've never in my life felt threatened enough that i needed a gun to protect myself and frankly the thought of a someone next to me shooting a gun with me and mine behind 2" of fiberglass,foam and plywood is very un-nerving to say the least.
Happy New Year To All!!!!!!!!!!!!
