Ok, this is a question that has been addressed before, but I think I finally figured the puzzle out. You are not allowed to have a loaded handgun when travelling on the the public highways or waterways of the state, and you are only allowed to transport an unloaded handgun when travelling to certain locations or purposes like between bonafide residences.
Well how about this, and I don't know why I did not think of this before, wherever your house boat ot RV stops that you are going to sleep, especially if you rent the spot for your RV, you are 1) no longer travelling, and 2) you have established a residence for even just a night.
The way I see it, it has to be in an enclosed case or holster when moving, but when stopped, parked or anchored, you can have it loaded. [I am not a lawyer]
So does anyone think this is worth a letter to the AG to find out?
