In almost exactly a month, I'll be graduating The Citadel and heading home for a while.
I bought a bike while I was down here, and since I like twisties, I like camping, and I'm gonna have a few weeks on my hands at the very least, I'm planning on riding up the blue ridge parkway/ skyline drive and generally taking the scenic route through the Appalachians back to PA.
I have a current PA LTCF. Last I checked it was good in every state I'd pass through with the exceptions of SC (go figure) and MD (which I'll be in for as little time as possible). I wouldn't carry while on the road, but I'd like a little something close to hand for the nights camping wherever.
Would it be legal to have a pistol unloaded in a backpack while riding (guessing yes, since it's not like I have a trunk or locking case so for FOPA purposes this is the best I can do), and loaded& handy when stopped for the night in National Parks/National Forests in VA, NC, WV with a PA licence?
I know MD would be a whole other story, which is why I'm not even gonna stop for gas there if I can avoid it.
