The Pro's and Con's of Traveling Armed in an RV. Season 1 Ep 3

[Music] welcome back to the 1 million mile road trip i'm tommy and i'm medina and we would like to discuss you today about traveling armed most people have different opinions of traveling arm whether it's a risk or a reward of just feeling secure this is a pistol this i'm not pointed at you i know this is a pistol if you decide to take a pistol in the rv with you you are traveling in some states where they would be totally legal and you could be arrested yes and just cause you if they're small and easy to hide doesn't mean that they'll never be found that you have it just say you have to use it to protect your family and i know the old saying you'd rather be tried by 12 and carried by six but it still could be a really tough time for you in court and you could be arrested and have to get a lawyer and just a lot of other things defending your right carry you could go to prison we know we know of a guy whose uncle went to prison for going through new jersey with a gun right yeah this is a shotgun with the most wonderful sound in the world besides a laughing baby that one sound can be a big deterrent and get people from walking away from possibly causing problems it wouldn't be for me and you can use a shotgun to defend yourself against animals or snakes and stuff like that and they're probably the most the less regulated weapon that you can carry in an rv this is a rifle now there's not much restrictions on a hunting rifle except in some states they require you not to have a magazine that holds the the bullets more than three five or ten and in some states they would require you to have some type of permit for the rifle i like the idea of having a rifle or a shotgun in the rv i think it gives you more security and it makes you a little bit more secure if say you're boondocking in the middle of the desert a national forest and you have a group of people come up that maybe you're intoxicated or high on drugs that at least you know that you could defend your family or and maybe even worn them off by showing uh the weapon but remember know the laws of the states that you travel in whether it's alabama or any other state i was in law enforcement for over 30 years and i can tell you pretty much how it is in alabama but you're not going to i'm not going to be traveling just in alabama and we want to uh go on the internet and just find out what the laws are in the state that you're going to travel in and accept your own risk whether you want to go with a pistol a shotgun or a rifle but i believe that we will travel armed probably with a shotgun just because they are mostly universally accepted and the pump shotgun pump shotgun yes i want a pump shotgun because i think that sound alone will scare some people and remember you can't ever shoot somebody over property it has to be to defend your life or somebody else's life that's just about universal in every state you go to you cannot shoot somebody for stealing your property and always remember to call the police where you're at if you dial 9-1-1 and you're in a different state they're going to refer you or transfer you to the local 9-1-1 so the police will come and get involved it i don't it doesn't matter if you think you're not going to be able to get the police out there it's going to take too long get the police involved so they'll help you when if you do have a serious issue well if you've got them on the phone and they're hearing the conversation between you and the bad guy or guys and something happens then that's part of your defense if you're right if you end up having to shoot them so yeah and remember that's the last result we want to do even when i was in law enforcement that was the last the very last thing you want to do is have to defend your life so uh but anyway i've listened to uh i've listened to other rv channels and they talked about carrying weapons mace various things to protect yourself and i think it's the individual's choice on what they carry i know if you go out of the country you need to be aware of the laws like canada canada will not allow you to carry mace will not retire no mace no stun guns no stun guns they won't allow you to carry a weapon to protect yourself against a human criminal the only way you can carry a gun in canada is one if you declare that gun that you have the gun and that you are going to use it to protect yourself against animals are you using it for hunting and you need to fill out proper paperwork to get the be able to carry the shotgun or rifle they will not approve a handgun at all and you cannot be carrying it for self-defense but know the law that's the main thing know the law and where you're at and uh it's each it's just an individual choice for uh what you do and the risks that you're willing to take but do not think that you can hide a gun from the authorities in your rv somewhere that you think you can pack it so that it can't be smelt by a dog or found by a officer rummaging through there because they know where they're hidden they the dogs can smell them no matter what right well there's certain certain dogs can smell gunpowder yeah residue or bullets and another thing is the rv doesn't have the same protection like a house does for uh for a search warrant so off the lofts or can run a dog around your your vehicle and if he alerts on the vehicle for drugs or weapons or anything he can legally search your vehicle without a warrant but know the law know the law before you do and just it's all about what you the risks that you are willing to take so i hope you
