NRA Guide To the Intrastate Transportation Of Firearms
Going to Area 7? Heading to the Single Stack Nationals? Going on a family summer vacation? Here is some information that may help.
Many states and localities have laws governing the transportation of firearms. Travelers must be aware of these laws and comply with legal requirements in each jurisdiction. There is no uniform state transportation procedure for firearms. The NRA has a great document available that helps you understand the interstate transportation of firearms. These are guides and are not intended as legal advice or restatements of laws but the documents are compiled with general information and is available at no cost. Check out the webpage below before you head out to your next match that might be over the Stateline or get ready to board that next airline flight.

NRA Gun Safety Rules
1. ALWAYS keep the gun pointed in a safe direction. This is the primary rule of gun safety. A safe direction means that the gun is pointed so that even if it were to go off it would not cause injury or damage.
2. ALWAYS keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot. When holding a gun, rest your finger on the trigger guard along the side of the gun. Until you are actually ready to fire, do not touch the trigger.
3. ALWAYS keep the gun unloaded until ready to use. Whenever you pick up a gun, immediately engage the safety device if possible, and if the gun has a magazine, remove it before opening the action and looking into the chamber which should be clear of ammunition.
