Not all states allow hand guns, even passing through.. Such as CA, NY, IL.
Check the state laws before you leave and keep a list of those that do alllow.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Protection needed?
I did "carry"on our cross country trip but it was hid very well. I also had a "tigerlight" in the glove box. If I were to break down in a strange place on the side of the road is the only time I would consider getting out the "protection". Lets face it, If it were really needed to protect you or your wife, the carry laws don't really matter at that point. At least you are alive to face the charges.
On a good note, my wife and I traveled alone on this trip and never once felt uneasy or threatened at any stop. The only time I got a little concerned was when two guys jumped out of their pickup truck at a gas stop next to me, as I was gassing up, and wanted to look at the spyder! People love these things and everyone wants to check them out.
More advise: Know your Spyder, you may get an unexpected hiccup with the spyder such as a "limp home mode" situation or a throttle body hiccup. Know how to display the codes if something were to happen like this before you turn off the key. Know that you can reset things by turning the switch on and off, removing the key etc. (I had both things happen to me on our trip, at that time I didn't know what to do). I thought we were going to be stranded and as it turned out it just wasn't a big deal. I had my computer with me and got on spyderlovers, that night at the hotel, and got great advise and just kept going on our trip. No more issues at all. Lets face it, these things are a computer and may just need a reboot once and a while.
Don't over inflate the rear tire, I did thinking with the trailer and load that it needed more air. Well you can tell because the tread in the center wore about half way down. Live and learn :banghead:.
