I have some questions about transporting legal firearms across state borders.
I will be traveling from Florida through Alabama and Mississippi on Interstate 10 into Louisiana, through New Orleans to a destination in South Louisiana. I plan on taking a AR15 style rifle and a semiautomatic 9 mm pistol. I'll be doing some target shooting with relatives in South Louisiana during my visit. I will transport the guns in their manufacturer's cases in the back of an SUV and keep the cases covered so they are not visible through the windows. Ammunition will be carried in the manufacturer's original cases in an ammunition box with a latch. I plan on traveling with the magazines empty. I do not have a concealed weapons permit.
If I were to be stopped by the police for a speeding, I assume that because I legally own the weapons in Florida and am transporting them in safe manner, that I will not be violating any laws by crossing state lines. It is my impression that all four states in this scenario are “gun friendly”, but I invite those in the know to provide advice so I can make this travel uneventful.
