S7-E172: 4 Tips for the Trips that Include Firearms

North American Outdoors

We all take our safety and security seriously when we are at home, going to and from work, and while running errands around town. Sometimes we let our guard down and are lax when we go on vacation. Afterall, vacations are supposed to be fun and carefree, and a time when you should not have to worry about your safety and security. Many times, when you are on vacation, these are the times when you are most vulnerable and need to be most focused on safety.

Depending on your destination there are certain things you need to be aware of. Many times, based upon your activities and what you are doing, you may need more than one firearm and different types of ammunition. Just like when you are at home, there is not one firearm for all purposes, just as there is no one correct type of ammunition for every purpose. Do your research and plan accordingly.

There are four areas you need to be concerned with when vacationing with a firearm.

1. Know the laws in all the jurisdictions that you will be in;

2. Traveling to your destination;

3. What to carry while at your destination; and

4. Knowing the correct ammunition to carry to address the potential threats you may encounter while at your location.

For many, summertime means vacation time. The last thing we want to happen while we are enjoying our time off is an unexpected encounter with a deadly threat. Do your research and be prepared. The safety of you and your loved ones depends on it.
