In December 2005 I road tripped with my Remington 870, with 10 round extended magazine, and top folding stock in the back seat of my pick up. I went from Boulder, to San Antonio, all across I-10 down the South Florida. Then trucked up I-95 all the way to New Jersey/New York, and then back to Boulder.

How much do you want to bet that shotgun wasn't legal in some of the states I traveled through?

Then, just last year, I drove out to New Jersey with my Beretta 92, with two 15 round mags. How much would you like to bet New Jersey law enforcement wouldn't be too keen on that?

The point is to be discreet about it, what they don't know won't hurt them ( or you for that matter. )

Better to be judged by 12 then carried by 6, right?
