Re: Pennsylvania to Kentucky through West Virginia
I went to WV, Echo Valley range, for training, few years back by way of MD that was a white knuckle 15 mile stretch. They were like swarms of insects every mile in every direction with whole bunch of them mobile weaving in and out pulling people over, I think it was labor day weekend or something. I was going 3 miles below speed limit on cruise praying. Never again. Shame of it is I don't think you can get to Echo Valley without going thru MD.

Re: Pennsylvania to Kentucky through West Virginia
According to what I know, that is -theoretically- correct according to Federal statute. But IANAL.
Myself, I wouldn't count on the cop that pulls you over and finds the gun knowing that, or abiding by it. Or maybe he'll simply treat it as a 'defense' AFTER you're arrested/detained. It's cold comfort being 'right' a few days later after delays, an arrest, legal expense, etc.
I just stay the "heck" out of MD if at all possible.
Folks may refer to us, sneeringly, as "Pennsyltucky." But the truth remains we're (mostly) a bastion of 2A rights compared to the surrounding (mostly) anti-gun states.Last edited by KCJones; October 23rd, 2017 at 06:18 PM.

Federal Law requirements for FOPA transport protection:
18 USC §926A. Interstate transportation of firearms
Notwithstanding any other provision of any law or any rule or regulation of a State or any political subdivision thereof, any person who is not otherwise prohibited by this chapter from transporting, shipping, or receiving a firearm shall be entitled to transport a firearm for any lawful purpose from any place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm to any other place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm if, during such transportation the firearm is unloaded, and neither the firearm nor any ammunition being transported is readily accessible or is directly accessible from the passenger compartment of such transporting vehicle: Provided, That in the case of a vehicle without a compartment separate from the driver's compartment the firearm or ammunition shall be contained in a locked container other than the glove compartment or console.Last edited by tl_3237; October 24th, 2017 at 10:31 AM.

WV, OH, KY all good. Careful not to accidentally go through MD. But not a problem if leaving from Greensburg.Last edited by SevenMilePete; October 24th, 2017 at 06:38 PM.

Re: Pennsylvania to Kentucky through West Virginia
I agree and generally do stay out of MD, in spite of it being convenient sometimes to visit from our cabin it Somerset County. I had to meet someone on business and had a gun on me.
The MDSP firearms division employee that I spoke to gave me her name and direct line so I would at least be able point to the person that told me it was legal to enter the state as I did.

Go out and buy some 3 for a dollar "dollar store" locks. Then lock your container or even connect them to the zipper of a soft case. That should comply with the law.
