What I've done was to purchase a "nano Vault" and unload my pistol and lock it up in the vault that is tethered with a steel cable to the trunk, the ammo is locked up in a sepparate box.

I would suggest buying one of the "Nano vault's" as they come in different sizes, they do come in handy as I use mine on occasion when going out & if there is a 30.06 sign I just go back to the car & lock it up.
Thanks for the Nano vault suggestion. I looked at their site and they have a couple products that interest me.

Living 15 miles from the Oklahoma line and having a lot of family there I have studied the gun laws and feel confident carrying there .

I have been thinking of taking my 16 year old daughter on a trip west but the west coast is off bounds for us , I would just as soon take her on a road trip across old Mexico . I will take her to Carlsbad Cavern , Grand Canyon and a few other national parks . If I travel now I leave the gun at home , It doesn't do you any good in the trunk with no mag in my opinion . I just take my chances unarmed . It's a sad situation .
What I did on a cross country trip a couple years ago was to use: http://www.handgunlaw.us/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; as pointed out by several others

and then I built a spreadsheet (ok, I admit I'm a bit nerdy), with a row for each state I would be traveling in. I put in columns for if I had to notify if stopped and what/if any signs applied and a few of the restricted places (that might apply to me). I kept this folded up and within reach in the car so if I was stopped or when ready to get out for gas etc., I could look quickly to remember.
