thanks for replies. my question was semihypotheical. i intended north america to exclude mexico. i do lawfully road-trip quite alot while armed, even expeditiously and carefully transiting some unfriendly states’ highways, but only went disarmed into canada (so far). i follow updates on handgunlaw.us, and hold various and sundry nonresident ccw permits and, as needed, nonresident hunting permits.
besides not being a shotgunner i’m not hunting (large game at least). i have a henry lever-action 22lr carbine. it can be secured and carried unobtrusively in a non-descript duffel bag. i think it would be fine, but 22wmr offers more oomph for more effective defensive or wider hunting uses, if need be, but can still be a relatively cheap, occasional plinker when the opportunity arises. lever-action and rimfire seems to be the most law-accommodating rifle.
i don’t care what random others who i may encounter on my trips think of my peaceable exercise of any of our constitutional rights but at the same time they have absolutely no need to know what i read, how i worship or what i’m carrying. so i display nothing.
anyway i’m just curious to learn others’ more informed opinions here. thanks.
