Because crossing a state border has implications for gun owners, it’s important for them to have a reference guide outlining how to legally carry and transport firearms in all the states, and the Traveler’s Guide to the Firearm Laws of the Fifty States does a nice job of presenting summaries of most relevant laws.

The book, just updated for 2018, helps gun owners stay abreast of the most up-to-date laws for each state. Author J. Scott Kappas presents the information by state, and each entry includes a short checklist of the laws for such things as concealed-carry reciprocity, magazine-capacity restrictions, right to self-defense and more.

The 2018 edition includes more than 100 changes since 2017, one being that Kappas includes breakout listing for what to do in hotels. The book is available now for $14.95 (plus shipping if you upgrade to first-class mail). To order yours, call (859) 491-6400 or go online to gunlawguide.com.
