Last I checked, it is legal to carry a hand gun if you are traveling out of state.

can of starting fluid, .
Huh ??

I didn't think you could use starting fluid on our trucks because of the grid heater?

Aside from what everyone else mentioned, take a copy of the emergency contact list that Drew made up.

Just don't get caught with a handgun in Washington DC. They think the 2nd amendment doesn't apply to them. I'm glad some one has finally challenged their BS gun law to the US Supreme court.
