DO NOT RELY ON WHAT YOU READ ON THE INTERNET OR IN BOOKS THAT YOU HAVE NOT VERIFIED BY READING THE ACTUAL STATE LAWS. Every state publishes it gun laws on the internet. Laws pertaining to guns change rapidly; books most often are out of date; and many people posting on the internet don’t know what they are talking about or their information is simply old. YOU ARE OBLIGATED TO KNOW THE LAW – IGNORANCE IS NO EXCUSE. (You have probably heard that before and it is TRUE.)
Our group, 3 of whom have conceal and carry gun permits, will be going through 6 states on our way to Spyderfest. Each state has different gun laws. It has taken a day just finding out how to "stay legal" on our trip. For example, in one state we cannot conceal and carry and our state permits are not valid; but we can open carry a gun on our belt. The next state over permits conceal and carry with a permit from our home state but not open carry. Go figure.
In any event, don’t risk spoiling your trip and spending time in a local “pokey”. Do your homework. This is our first Spyderfest and we are looking forward to the folks and events.
Very good point. I know from experience to be careful what you read about criminal law on the internet. A couple of years ago we took a trip to Broken Bow. I did some research on crossing/traveling on roadways on an ATV. Got the information straight from the state's penal code on their website. It said it was legal to operate on a public roadway as long as you were going from one trailhead to another. We drove directly across a roadway from one trail to another and a game warden was hiding in the bushes on the other side. He stopped us and broke out the ticketbook. I pulled up the information on my phone and showed it to him. He said the law had changed earlier that year and the state hadn't updated their website. He wrote us a warning but spent some time correcting some of the other information on the state's website. If you aren't absolutely sure, call the state police and verify.

Here is the website I use = http://www.usacarry.com/concealed_ca...city_maps.html
you click first on your concealed carry for the state in which you live, then you click any concealed carry permits for states you are NOT a resident (ie. Florida or Utah are most common).
then it shows you what states honor your cc permit and which do NOT. the ones that do NOT you will need to see rules (such as can you carry in the same vehicle but unloaded? or in separate box gun from ammo?) or just not easily accessible like in frunk or side storage.

Don't carry if you're not about a thousand percent sure that it's legal to do so!
Don't give the gun grabbers any ammo for their arguments!

And there are hundreds of room options in Branson, which is just 20+ miles south down 65.

Any adivce or hints would be most helpful!

if you had any items you wanted from Spyderpops now is the time to go there and you can have them installed while you wait (umm shop) ..
save you on shipping and you get it installed too for a good price ;-)
figure gas, tolls, plus a lot of meals are part of the spyderfest package.
that leaves meals down and back (mostly fast food probably) and your hotel on way down and back plus there .. I recommend you decide early so you get a room in the main complex of hotels and NOT have to drive back to your room after hanging out with everyone ... much much better to be in the thick of the group...
plus a few bucks for what ever charity event they are running (len supports local charity usually)
plus oil change after you get back ... you will put on about 3k miles round trip plus riding around hopefully..
dont forget to pack rain gear (unfortunately it does rain that time of year) ... plus a few heat packs if you get caught in rain late in day with wind can get cold on ride in...
