Carrying handgun to Florida on motorcycle?
So I'm looking to go on an adventure.
Never been south and it's getting to be time to do some traveling in the spring/summer.
I'd like to leave PA, head down through the Appalachian mountains down to the smokeys for a ride on the dragon,, then scooting over to Alabama for a pit stop at the Barber Motorsports Museum, then running to the gulf at mobile Alabama, and then along the gulf through the everglades and down to the keys. Return trip along the beach as far as I can to get home. 😎
Now, what I'm looking for is info on reciprocity and Non-res license to carry, and even more specifically, what states to avoid at all costs(jersey!, MD?, del?)
I would greatly appreciate any advice for a trip like this. I'm planning on backcountry wild camping in the mountains. Wanna be able to defend myself if needed against 4 and 2 legged critters.
Out of state travel and firearm travel are both drastically new to me lol trying to do the correctly and safely.

This sounds like a ton of fun. As for basic reciprocity info, https://www.usacarry.com/concealed-c...iprocity-maps/ is always my go to. Click on PA, choose Resident and you get your results. Doing it just now, it looks like South Carolina is your only state to avoid in this journey.

Re: Carrying handgun to Florida on motorcycle?
Handgunlaw.us is the best resource
You'll be good to carry through all* states along that route except for Maryland which you'll have to follow FOPA, or swing west and avoid it altogether. *South Carolina if you end up there you'll have to do glove box or console carry - not on your person because PA is not reciprocal. Edit - just saw you'll be on a motorcycle. Unsure what SC says about that but worse comes to worse you can unload and carry in a locked case. I'd have to think that would satisfy FOPA but unsure.
Look through all the state pages at Handgunlaw, notably the off limits section and the duty to inform section. Study up and you'll be good. Enjoy the trip!

Re: Carrying handgun to Florida on motorcycle?
Thank you guys greatly!
This is very reassuring, I was expecting much more difficulty or non-res licenses.
Thanks again for the links! Rep incoming!

Re: Carrying handgun to Florida on motorcycle?
That sounds like a great ride, tagging the thread for interest.
How long do you think the trip will take and how many miles per day do you intend?
I picked up a used traveling scoot near Pittsburg last August and plan to use the crap out of it this year.
There are a bunch of motorcycle chums on here but trying to get them together for a ride is worse than herding cats.Crusader's local #556 South Central Asia chapter

Re: Carrying handgun to Florida on motorcycle?
Let me know how it goes! I*m supposed to ride to TN and meet up with a friend from TX for a few days once he finishes up the home he*s building for the family. Considering much the same route down the Appalachians, paralleling 81 to Knoxville.
And yes, we should do a few Poofa group rides once in a while, there are enough riders here!Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God.

How do you ride that long without your ass getting sore?

Re: Carrying handgun to Florida on motorcycle?
Ass ache is pretty much inevitable for me.
Stopping every hour or so for a quick break and keeping to about 300 miles a day keeps it to a minimum.Crusader's local #556 South Central Asia chapter
