This is EXACTLY why I’ve downsized my armory as I get ready to travel extensively with my 5th wheel camper, I’ve kept what I’m confident will allow me to protect myself, loved ones and property and rely on my situational awareness to quickly remove myself “if possible” from situations that may turn bad. Basically how and where I plan on camping (remote areas) law enforcement will be more than just minutes away.
i used to worry about what to take when traveling in our RV, and what places or crazy states
then one day i said FLUCKIT and added a small safe that if the cops decided they need to look in, (with a warrant) would hold normal stuff and then added a real strong box (does not look like a safe) in the basement next to the sewer hose stuff.
not saying build a trap in your rv...but build a trap or hiddy hole. not just for firearms, but other needed items
we have been entered by CBP quite a few times coming back from south texas, not mexico.
i never declare any firearms as its not required for my domicile, and as a domicile you can have hidden storage areas
i have never had an issues with them or the doggy walk through.
we stay on a lot of military bases and YES you can bring firearms on board. there is a trick and smart phone call to protect yourself.
but most base commanders have rules, that see an RV as your domicile and therefore will allow the forearms to remain in the rv while your on base. NOT in your car or truck. MOST NEVER ASK about the rv or bus or whatever is in tow, only the towing vehicle, or the one in tow or on the trailer.
this way you dont have to rent a safe box outside a base to enjoy the campground on base
like congress, there are 1ks of ways to circumvent the crazy rules some places try to put in place.
