20 gauge coach gun. Bird, buck, and ball rounds all work in that thing. Effective kill out o 100 yards, easy to handle in tight spaces, breaks down to fit in an violin case sized box. What's not to like?
Herrwalther, you anwered what I really wondered. Which of the two the lever or the shotgun would have faced fewer restrictions. I wish I would have phrased my question in this manner, as this is exactly what I wondered which of the two would face less restrictions in other states.12ga or 20ga if recoil is a concern is the better choice. Legal wise, shotguns are less likely to face restrictions. Hunting wise a shotgun is more versatile than a rifle depending on the various loadings. A short 12ga pump is my go to weapon when I go hiking for anything longer than a day.
I use Wingmaster Supermag with 20" barrel with Remchokes. The only upgrade was Meprolight night sights instead of Remington ones. It is wonderful weapon that can be used with BK shot, bird shot, foster slugs and sabot slugs. All I have to do is switch choke tubes using rifled for sabots, for example. Wonderful survival too too.My wife and I are in the process of purchasing an RV and will travel through all states and Canada. I was wondering since some states are not gun friendly what some of you that RV carry for self defense.
Regardless of the state laws I figured that I would carry at least a shotgun or lever action instead of the menacing "black gun", and deal with the law if it ever comes to this point.
I own an 870 6 +1 20 ga and a winchester 30-30. I was also thinking of revolvers instead of semi-autos for these unfriendly gun states. As for Canada I will use my 450 for when I eventually make the trip to Alaska.
Your advice for those that travel will be greatly appreciated.

Does this work? I've heard yes and no. The NO sayers claim it has to be transferred in if left overnight, then it can't be transferred back as one isn't a resident there... Can someone confirm?I say shotgun. I have heard of people who drive into Canada and want to leave their pistol in the states drop off their handgun and request a "cleaning ". Then say you will be back in a couple weeks. Of course this would be a reputable gun store with a smith on hand.
