CCW carry from TN to Nevada on I-40

[Johnny Rotten]

I'll be traveling to Vegas within the next few weeks to do a wellness check on my parents, I would normally fly and be unarmed but with all this CV19 BS going on I've decided to drive this time, I'll be driving through these states AR, OK, TX, NM, AZ, NV (1900 miles) will any of these states give me any grief if I CCW and carry a AR pistol truck gun? 

Thanks JR

An AR pistol + a regular hand gun sounds like you may see cartel trouble along the way.

You get in a shootout out there in those western states and those boys will be using serious firepower. You will probably want a scoped AR10 for a rifle.

But this just a free bump, I have no idea if any of those states are going to throw you in jail for what you are carrying.  I guess like most everywhere, it depends on how what you are carrying becomes an issue.

 

have a safe trip!

You are kosher in all of those states for the kit you have outlined. 
 

I'm a truck driver and I’m in all of those states regularly. I’ve researched the weapons laws to know where I’m legally ok and not.

I know you make the quote “it depends on how the gun was an issue” often, and it falls in line with a conversation about school shootings with a officer. He said it is a department attitude to tell teachers to do whatever they feel is best, concerning teachers being armed, just don’t let the gun be an issue until there is a issue (active shooter). He then said at that point nobody is going to be looking to charge a teacher for trying to stop an active shooter. In other words, they aren’t going to go around and search teachers for weapons, but if there are other issues that garners their attention, the gun could then become a issue.

That may or may not be THAT officer's department's attitude, but I would not assume that would be the attitude of all departments, esp. those departments whose brass are much more politician than LEO. Of which there are quite a few in Middle TN.

Have you looked into flying and checking your firearm? I did that between TX and TN, no issue. Just have to let the counter person know you're checking a firearm during check in.
