Instead of starting a new thread I figured I would just piggy-back off of this one....I am getting ready to go down to Outer Banks in a few weeks and the shortest trip obviously is down through the tunnel. I have read several of the MD threads on here including this one and want to play it as safe as I can. I plan on bringing a few handguns with me all unloaded and locked in a small sentry safe chest. I also plan on unloading all mags and storing the ammo separately in a locked ammo storage can. Do you think I should put the empty mags in with the unloaded handguns or store them with the ammo or does it not really matter? Or do you think I need to invest in a third lockable container just for mags?
Also, everything I am reading on this forum suggest it is ok to travel through MD with mags that hold more than 10 rounds. I am planning on bringing some 15 and 17 rounds mags with me so I assume this will be ok even though MD residents cannot possess them? Kind of scary thinking about this trip even though it is a relatively short distance from MD to VA line.
Does all of this reasonable as a method of travel or am I missing something?
Thanks!
Why would you go to the OBX via I-95?
It is NOT the quickest, nor most efficient route (IMHO).
I would suggest that you check into taking Rt 1, 113, 13, 64, 168, to 158, as that is certainly the better route (IMHO anyway).
In the 20 years I've been going to the OBX (twice a year, 2 weeks in the spring, a week in the fall), I've taken I-95 exactly once, and unless they close the Bridge/tunnel for some reason, I will NEVER take I-95 again.
