I know that our SC permits are practically worthless outside of SC.You also need to sort out getting through NY, NJ, MD, PA and DE (depending out your route), none of which recognize your SC permits, in addition to CT which does not honor SC permits.
I wasn't sure about CT Sec. 29-38d. Interstate Transportation of Firearms Through State, subsections (a) and (b). It didn't specify how long one could take to drive "through" the state.Do not bring a firearm to CT especially a handgun. It is not legal to transport or have possession of a handgun in CT without a permit. The only way you can transport a handgun is if you are traveling inter-state and just passing through and keep the handgun locked in a case, unloaded in a car.
I don't have a lot of faith in pepper spray but it might be all we can do. Knives wouldn't be useful to me because I'm physically too weak to make use of them. (Little old lady with Parkinson's Disease.)Pepper spray does seem to be legal in CT and may be your best bet. Even knives have many limits on their possession and use.

Not touching NJ this time. We go thru NY state but not NYC (been there, done that--ugh!). Eastern seaboard is generally gun unfriendly for travelers.
I was hoping that we could at least transport the unloaded gun in a locked container in the luggage area of our vehicle, separated from the ammo.
You would think that the states that want people to surrender their guns would make it easier by offering alternatives such as stun guns, knives and sprays. Instead, they want to take away everything.
I'm just disappointed in my home state. It's a beautiful state, my family has lived there almost 400 years, and I was born there but I won't be moving back there.Clearly you do not understand the liberal thinking process. They want their subjects totally reliant on the government, even though they have no intent to protect you.
Your only means of defense in CT is prayer, and they don't really like you to do that.
You're right. (Although praying there is OK as long as you "keep it to yourself".)
As I've posted before (forgive me for repeating), I'm a little old lady with Parkinson's Disease, so I definitely look "harmless." (Unfortunately, that means I also look defenseless to the bad guys.) I don't need a cane yet but I probably will some day, and it won't be acting.CT is very gun unfriendly and MD, NJ, and NY will lock you up for being armed if they get a chance. Carry a cane if you can act like you need one. and you can get away with a kubaton or tactical pen. Keep your situational awareness in high gear and do your best to avoid any danger. Try to look harmless to the cops, and aware and alert to the crooks.
Hubby and I will be driving up to CT in August for a family reunion. We're making this a special three-week trip that may be my last time (health reasons). Here in SC we're used to being able to carry concealed. We know that's not allowed for us in CT. So, we tried to come up with other, less satisfactory, options for self-defense. We found out stun guns are prohibited. What else is there for non-residents? Pepper spray?
We were considering transporting a handgun to keep in our hotel room. We would lock it in the room safe when we went out. Is that OK?
