  camping information.

  my wife and i are planning on taking a year off and taking a jeep and a camper through all the 48 contiguous states and alaska and some of canada.. living in florida, i have always had guns and a concealed carry permit.

  but researching for our upcoming retirement vacation, it seems to me that i might not be able to legally carry firearms on my upcoming expedition.. it seems every state has different laws and licenses.

  what does a camper from florida do when he goes to new york or california?

  On the way out.

  I believe I will bring my baseball bat and leave the guns in Florida.

  Maybe some pepper spray also, Robert.

  Can't leave.

  I probably would not want to bring a gun into Canada.

  But If I am on a tour or expedition of North America, and I have my gun to get me through Detroit what am I going to do with it when I cross into Canada?

  That is my problem.

  Daniel.

  I generally do not feel unsafe in my element.

  In the city on the beaten path.

  When I was young I did some traveling and camping, I was never scared or fearful.

  Now at 63, I am a little more cautious.

  I have guns and permits because I was a sheriff. But I do not consider myself a gun person.

  I don't enjoy or marvel at guns.

  Maybe I have locked up too many bad guys, read too many police reports and seen to many police TV shows and movies.

  I am not as paranoid as other cops I know who carry 3 or 4 guns at a time; back ups to back ups and throw downs.

  And in their homes they have guns hidden in many places to always have a way out or be one step ahead of the bad guy.

  Daniel, I appreciate your post.

  I am a little paranoid. I am a former deputy sheriff.

  It comes with the territory.

  According to my information the Swiss are more obsessed with their guns than Americans.

  Marmot. Do you mean the safe at home in Florida?

  Or do you mean the safe in the camper?

  I am not looking to carry a gun on my travels.

  I would like to have a gun or shotgun in my camper at night.

  I think that might be a problem.

  My wife and I are planning on taking a year off and taking a Jeep and a camper through all the 48 contiguous states and Alaska and some of Canada.

  Living in Florida, I have always had guns and a concealed carry permit. But researching for our upcoming retirement vacation, it seems to me that I might not be able to legally carry firearms on my upcoming expedition.

  It seems every state has different laws and licenses. What does a camper from Florida do when he goes to New York or California? Do they leave their guns at home?

  I find it hard to believe that all these long hall truckers and recreational vehicle enthusiast are driving around in the wild unprotected.

  I am not that paranoid in the city. I rarely ever carry here in Florida. But to be out in the wild, it seems to me that one should have protection available.

  I know I could put the gun unloaded and locked up in the camper but I doubt that is legal in all states. What am I going to do with my gun when I go from Nevada to California or Arizona to California or Ohio to New York? I don't want to end up a happy vacation by gong to jail.

  I also think it is somewhat irresponsible to go out into the wild and unknown areas without protection.

  Does anyone have any advice or information on this matter.

  Maybe seeing the USA in a camper is not a good idea.

  Even if I wasn't in a camper but traveling and seeing all the sights and areas in the USA, I think one would want protection, If you really want to see things.

  If you just want to go see Mount Rushmore and the grand canyon you don't need a gun but if that's all you want to do why waste 10's of thousands of dollars on vehicle and camper, you could just look at pictures of them on the internet.

  It would be safer and cheaper to just sit home in front of my computer. But this life might be more than that.

  I wish I never brought this trip up to my wife she wants to go. But as a man I have to provide protection and security.

  I have not been a camper or outdoors man through out my life. This trip is a bucket list retirement thing.

  Is there a difference between carrying a hand gun and a shot gun as far as legality and feasibility?

  Any good advice would be appreciated.

  Problems with Common Atheist Arguments

  by FusionTheism in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the reason i entitled this "problems with common atheist arguments" instead of "the case against atheism" is that many atheists claim that atheism is not a belief system, makes no claims, and has no requirements to follow, so there's no way to argue against atheism itself.

  i will go along with this idea, and argue against the most frequently used arguments of atheists instead of atheism itself.disclaimer # 1: this is not an argument against atheism or all atheists.

  no, rather this is an argument against the most frequently used claims and arguments made by the atheists i speak to on twitter.

  Fusion Theism. Your post is one of the most intelligent pieces I have seen on this sight in a long, long time, if not ever.

  For many it will be like an airplane joke.

  This place here is a tough crowd.

  I don't see many here displaying critical thinking abilities.
