FOPA and Hotel Stays

[lts1ow]

Does FOPA cover a traveler if they stop mid trip for a hotel stay and firearm never leaves trunk/locked up status?

My apologies if this is the wrong section.

No.

FOPA is a defense, one can still be arrested.

FOPA doesn’t really protect you, so don’t count on it. I’ll be driving through Maryland to get to NC in a few weeks to go on vacation, I just white knuckle it for the few miles I’m in that shit stain of a state.

Thanks guys, had a strong suspsician that it did not but wanted to be clear.

How about renting a car? Your tags won't reveal any gun info.

Large part of me wants to follow the law as best I can, so that wouldn't fly with me.

I'll see if we can push the trip past IL before stopping

Iffin I were you and leaving from Washington I would travel down 79, 19, 77 into NC and then, if heading east, hit 74E to 40 (I'm guessing a beach destination). I go to Charlotte at least 4 times a year and will be going to Myrtle Beach shortly and will travel that way.

I am traveling to KS, so the only state I am worried about other than NJ, is IL but seems we are gonna stop at MS.

Otherwise, my permits cover me AFIAK
