That does suck, but at least its more of a city thing and not statewide. NJ doesn't give out permits to carry at all not even the rural areas.
You can take advantage of those those states offering non-residents permits like myself. They're very useful

Been recently to NYC, Chicago, DC, London, Edinburgh, Bristol. Been to San Francisco. Went to Denver, Louisville and didn't take guns.
Still alive. Had fun. Just did what John Farnam says - don't go to stupid places with stupid people. Did take guns to Memphis!

I won't vacation in a anti - state.
Guns are a big hobby of mine. I have never gone on a vacation that didn't involve guns and shooting.

People who don't carry on an "everyday, all the time" basis don't find it unsettling to be in place where they cannot carry. To them it's the status quo. |

I went to IL to visit family last year and took my 642. I didn't carry it while there, though. It stayed in my hotel room or locked in the car.

NO, I don't restrict myself from vacation in a state that has weird gun laws. NYC/NJ/CA to be specific.
I love visiting NYC for vacation, and sometime LA. I wouldn't hesitate to visit only but I can never see myself living in those states permanently with their crazy laws |

Unless it's a gun specific vacation I don't concern myself with gun laws. I go places to have fun.

I go whever I want to go. I don't carry now but may get around to do it someday.
I've lived in NYC near some bad neighborhoods and have survived without a PREP kit. My parents are Christian and made me go to church when I was a kid. I got brainwashed with the religious crap for a long time. Now I walk knowing that Jesus has my back. If he wants me safe, I won't need a firearm. If he wants me dead then a firearm won't help no matter the caliber. |

I really don't vacation much out of a couple state area. I rerally don't want to spend my money on it as I am content in my home and spend that money on guns and toys. I don't think I am missing anything.

No, I do not ever willingly go to such states. I find stuff to do in states I like.
I will travel internationally; the rules are different there. |

We have a helmet law, I for one always wear my helmet but I don't think it should be a law to do so.

I think gun laws are an excellent barometer for a state in other areas of freedom like over taxation, spending, nanny state regulations, etc. I do try to not patronize those states, but it is difficult.

That is exactly true, NJ for instance has some of the highest taxes in the country and as far as nanny state-ness goes well... there are seveal things that are illegal that I believe are unique to states like us..such as.
Fireworks BB guns Unbelted pet in your vehicle riding without a helmet. slingshots Pump your own gasoline Carrying a pocketknife Smoking inside anywhere..even a bar And thats just the tip of the iceberg.

If I had a choice I wouldn't but I have to. 3 years ago I had a bone marrow transplant and last year I found out who my donor was. He lives in Germany and for Christmas he and his wife are flying to----------Chicago----------on Christmas Day to see us. Have to leave my P229 home for that trip.
