Bob, You're going to jail, unless you have permits in every state. Especially in New York City, where they do not honor anyone else's permits.

Bob: You are also going to be traveling in a foreign country so I suggest you go to this site and study it carefully. The Canadian requirements/restrictions far exceed any in the US. http://www.cbsa.gc.ca/publications/pub/bsf5044-eng.html#P001 Ted ----- Original Message ----- From: <fred@tug44.org> To: <rocheconst@aol.com>; <great-loop@lists.trawlering.com> Sent: Wednesday, March 13, 2013 3:28 PM Subject: Re: GL: ...

Some people feel like they need to carry a hand gun for personal protection. Some people don't. If you're someone that feels like they need a hand gun for protection, then by all means bring one and obey the laws. It really doesn't matter whether you're doing the loop or not. -- Jim
