Touchy subject for sure. This is why i wish there was one set of federal issued handgun laws. Not state by state. Make it easier to travel.

There is it's called The Constitution, the feds messed it up, so why give them even more control over our rights? The feds have no business regulating firearms or 99% of the other things/issues they regulate.

Yea I would think if you are out of state how can you know all the laws.

 

In this woman's specific case, she should have been well aware of the law. Not that I agree that she should be charged, I think it's ridiculous and the use of officer discretion should have been a no brainer here BUT.........in Pennsylvania when you are issued a License To Carry A Firearm, you are also given paperwork. In that paperwork you will find a list of States that honor your firearms license and those that do not. You are also given all legal provisions pertaining to the city of Philadelphia it's a whole different world there when it comes to firearms.

If she would have taken the time to do what was required of her and read her paperwork, this could have been prevented.

She can and will be expected to know the gun laws of every state. Before I travel I do exactly that. Anyone with a functioning brain knows Jersey and NY are anti states that you in no circumstances want to be in possession of a gun in.

I agree but to have 50 different laws is crazy we are 1 country. Guess this is why I rarely travel out of indiana :)

Why not? It's the same thing with drivers licenses, the states decided to allow other states' residents to drive in their state. It's the same thing with guns. nj and a few other states rarely trust their own citizens with guns so why would they allow a nonresident? You are responsible for knowing the laws when you travel. I check the laws before I travel. Florida you don't have to identify, but when in Texas I have to. Florida's ccw covers weapons, some states only firearms. Also in Florida we can carry as many as we can conceal, others only 1. Heck some states (or at least they did) made the distinction between semi auto carry and carrying a revolver which meant if you wanted to carry both you'd have to qualify with both.

More than that. Some states allow what's called home rule. Basically means a city/town can set stricter standards. For example, NY has crazy gun laws. NYC is even worse. I'd like to see universal reciprocity of carry permits but I never will support a national permit, it would be sooooo watered down with restrictions it wouldn't be worth it. My Michigan CPL is good in 40 states, I'll live with that.

If you have a concealed permit it will show up when they run your D/L. Then they REALLY start asking questions. Just too bad she erred and has ended up costing her. The Barney Fifes in some of the small burgs really scare me though. Some are newbies and some have been *re-assigned* (not all, but some).

Not true. Out of state can't tell if you have a carry permit. In state they usually can tell but if I were stopped in NH with my Michigan permit they wouldn't know unless I told them.

Florida permits don't even show up for police in Florida if I remember correctly, which means there's no way that another state's officer will know about it.

Not sure where you came up with that but it's nonsense and does not and can not happen. When you get either a firearms license or permit depending on which your state issues, that information is NOT stored in a national database such as NCIC. That information can ONLY turn up if requested through you issuing state's database if the Sheriff's office information is easily accessible during normal business hours (in most cases).

 

Your drivers license is issued to you through your state of residence. Your firearms license/permit is issued on the county level through your local Sheriff's office. A DL check will only give the current status of your license, that's all. If an officer wants to check something as simple as a warrant, that's another check that needs to be requested separately.

 

Most state DMV's have a hard enough time with DL issue and keeping current, up to date records. Imagine if they had to have their information and records cross referenced with up to almost 100 Sheriff's departments in some states to have firearms carry information added to your DL status, it would be a mess.

Well, it happened to me in OR with my Idaho drivers license, so answer that one (no infraction, just a Barney Fife wondering what I was doing going up a dead end canyon at 11pm). Also, guess what geniuses? In Idaho your CCW permit number is the SAME number as your drivers license.

I should have justified my comment above by adding a comment regarding Idaho to begin with.

Sorry to get everybody's panties in a wad :happysad:

Some CA jurisdictions started issueing CCWs. Since they can no longer make you "justify" the need for a CCW, I'm guessing you have to provide a stool sample or something now. I'll find out more in a few months. The guy I'm training at work has applied and received an interview date.

Unless you live in Florida where ours are issued by the state and not the county yet still do not show up. We have laws preventing random people/media/politicians from gaining access to permit holder info. Actually we have laws to prevent the state from raiding the CCW funds too lol.

More of a privacy concern for a lot of carriers. The media is so intent on finding and outting carriers that we tend to do a little research on the topic. Obviously every state is different and yeah specifying the spud state probably would have cut down on a post or two.

I have my CCW and have been pulled over 3 times, twice by state trooper once by local and the cops didn't mention once about my CCW, I didn't say anything because I didn't have a weapon in my car.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Gas fill door

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
