Q: Can I bring my gun to TN with me without a concealed weapons permit?
I’m going on a solo road trip and as a petite female I wanted some kind of protection if I needed it. The .22 pistol would be in my suitcase in a small gun lockbox with the key in the middle consol if the rental has one and I’d keep the magazines in the glove box probably (unlocked). Is this all legal?
A:
I believe this would be ok in Florida. You would have to check the laws of the other states through which you will be traveling.
A a practical matter, however, what you are proposing doesn't seem actually provide much real protection. You probably wouldn't be able to have the loaded firearm in your hand in time to protect yourself.
