It's interesting that Rhode Island would be that state. Their reputation vis-a-vis carry permits would lead me to believe that they wouldn't be open to allowing evil black rifles.

In the town that I hold residency in, the CLEO will issue to anyone who walks in, has a chat, and is not a nut. In other towns the CLEO might not be as friendly. In that case you can apply to the State Attorney Generals office, and if you can write a good letter, you can probably be issued a CCW. Getting a non resident Massachusetts CCW`is not difficult, and neither is getting one in Connecticut. Get a Florida non-resident and you are good from Maine to Florida save for NY, NJ, MD, and SC. You are also good west to Illinois, stay out of Minnesota, and then don't worry about a thing until you hit the left coast.

Spend some time on the PAFOA web forum and you'll see that accidentally setting foot ("setting wheel"?) in NJ with a firearm in your vehicle is cause for great concern because of NJs transport laws, and lack on non-resident permits and reciprocity.

Lock it in your trunk and the FOPA will be on your side while driving. You CAN stop at a friends house in NJ and spend a week there, with handgun or long gun carried into and left in his house. You can even go shooting. It's not nearly as bad as they make it out to be. Yes it's a pain in the neck to buy guns there, and it's impossible to get a CCW (at present), but it is NOTHING like NY as far as being hostile to outsiders.
