I'm tired of being couped up during this made up pandemic bullstuff. Since I lost my job, I basically have just worked around home and only gone out a couple of times and when I have, the stupid people end up pissing me off. No, I'm not a people person.
My oldest son is also out of work so we decided to make a road trip this week. My younger son got a job and moved to Lincoln, Nebraska, back in January and we are going out to visit.
We will leave NC, go through Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Missouri, Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska. I just found out that we will be in IL for about 2 hours. We both have NC CHP's and will definitely be traveling armed. Would it be best to unload, remove magazine and unload chamber, and lock it in the trunk while in IL? I found that in IL you do not have to inform LE of having a firearm and also found this:
We plan to do the drive in 2 days, ~18 hours total, so we are not on the road after dark. We plan to start out Tuesday morning and take our time, stopping to see anything that sparks our interest on the way out and back and plan to be gone for 8 or 9 days.
Any recommendations on anything worth stopping at/seeing, or areas to avoid? If we avoid IL, it adds about 2 hours to the trip.
