“. I can drive safely across this country without being ambushed by cops in California, Illinois, Colorado, New York, Massachusetts etcetera .....for carrying a firearm.”
Why would the cops in Colorado ‘ambush’ you? It’s legal to carry in your car here and we have shall issue CCW.
Additionally Colorado has reciprocity with 30ish states. Still haven’t figured out why SC won’t acknowledge a Colorado chp. Many of the other states sre who you would expect; left coast, MD, north east.
