Thanks for the replies folks. After reviewing gun laws in several state I intend to visit, below is my summary .
- When traveling: Keep gun in a unloaded and locked in a case and out of sight. I have no reason to be worried about safety during travel (or am I wrong??)
- When at campsite/ trails: Keep gun in holster on person and visible (Open carry)
I would have been a lot more comfortable if my CCL had arrived, but I feel that the above approach is reasonable.
Relevant states: TX, NM, CO, OK, UT, AZ. WY, MO, ID
Gun: Glock 40 Gen4 MOS/ 10MM
