Anyone know the best route to florida with pistols. will be driving alone.

Assuming you have your LTCF:

1. West on the PA Turnpike to I-81.
2. South on I-81 to just before the PA-MD border.
3. Get out, unholster, unload, clear, lock pistol(s) and ammo separately in the trunk, thumb nose/flip finger/thrust crotch towards MD, get back in car.
4. Drive south on I-81, carefully obeying EVERY traffic law, until just past the MD-WV border.
5. Get out, retrieve pistol(s) and ammo, lock & load, holster, thumb nose/flip finger/thrust crotch towards MD, get back in car.
6. In VA, take I-64 east to I-95 south.
7. While in SC, keep loaded gun in glove box or closed console.
8. Enjoy trip.
9. Reverse to return.

This^^^^.

IIRC, the short trip through Maryland on I81 is only about 20 mins or so and they have big signs telling you where to stop to disarm/arm. Example:
"Welcome to Maryland" = disarm
"Welcome to West Virgina" and "Welcome to Pennsylvania" = Arm

Sgt.K, absolutely love the suggestion for the show of "love" towards MD!

I prefer to stay on 81 south to 77 to Charlotte and Columbia, SC, then take 26 to 95. The longer I can stay off of 95, the better. I did that trip from Schuylkill Haven, PA, to Titusville, FL, in 16 hours, with stops for breakfast and lunch.

I didn't copyright it, feel free to use and pass on at will.

The main part from me is the I-81 route. I haven't actually driven between FL & PA since I was 10, but have gone to/thru TN multiple times, including a 30-hour run (stops for provisions, petrol, and potty breaks) from DelCo to OKC a few years ago.
