The gunsmith I occasionally use (75 year old) were discussing his former years of RV travels. I was getting some awesome tips about places to visit when we touched on the reciprocity laws... the navigation of which has been well covered here.

Yes... he always concealed carried in his MH. An interesting tidbit he said he used occasionally... Keep a laser pointer close at hand. Thieves aren't out to hurt or kill you... they just want your money and your "stuff". Any thief who's been "in business" long enough to stay alive will INSTANTLY become scarce when they see a laser dot in their direction... Is it real, or is it Memorex? No thief is going to just unload their weapon randomly/blindly into a MH. They're...just...not...that...stupid if they've been in their profession very long. Just like ANY thief, they want EASY targets... and you just made them think "this could be ugly - better move on". Anyone buying the "shoot first" theory (in this situation) has been watching too many Dirty Harry reruns.

For those not comfortable, there are alternatives. Here's a guy well versed in firearms whose FIRST action was safe and effective. However, he was prepared if things escalated... but his first action was to safely stop that escalation. Now... if the intruder had already breeched the door... (he's a heavy sleeper).

To each their own... your safety is your concern and right. Just use that right wisely.
