When traveling to Louisiana, Alabama, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas or Missouri, (I do this yearly) I treat all "no gun", gun buster as having force of law. Not really that many just pay attention at fast food places and gas stations. Mississippi have a specific sign for licensed carry and it includes all types of carry. Research it and print it.

Thank you. This is the kind of info I'm looking for.

Been there. Some of the confusion comes from that site (which is the best in general I've found so far). Take Louisiana for example:

Do “No Gun Signs” Have the Force of Law?
“YES”

What do those signs look like? Can they be gun buster signs or do they have to say "No Guns" or something else? Do they have any particular format and size (as Texas signs do)?

Alabama:

Do “No Gun Signs” Have the Force of Law? Unsure at This Time!

Same questions as above, but the "Unsure" really blurs things. I supposed I can CC (which I would do anyway) and hope that the [legally] correct answer is no and it doesn't become an issue, but hope is poor battle plan.

Ditto for most of the other states. Hence my asking here. Reading is one thing. Being there is another.

(Mini Rant: Why is "shall not be infringed" so complicated?!?!?!)

Later this summer, I'll be on the road, and passing through several other states. I'd appreciate it if anyone is familiar with the states below and can share with me some quick pointers.

I've checked and all them seem to honor my TX LTC (and I'm over 21). I know I'll have to obey the state's laws that I'm in, and I'm trying to figure them all out. From what I've found so far, most of the restrictions won't affect me. For several, I'm just driving through. Might stop at gas stations and restaurants, maybe a grocery store (cheaper than gas stations general for many items, and the bathrooms are usually cleaner), and in a few, a hotel. So for most of them, the more common restrictions, such no carry in police stations, schools, courts, churches, bars (I don't drink), demonstrations, etc. won't apply. Hopefully hospitals won't be something I have to worry about.

What I am worried about is signs. The info I've found is confusing as to what form and are they legally binding. Texas, at least, is quite specific about them.

Here are the states:

Alabama (probable hotel stay)
Georgia
Louisiana
Mississippi
North Carolina (maybe hotel stay)
South Carolina
Tennessee
Virginia (see more details below)

Finally, in Virginia, I hope to have to time visit a few sites while I'm there, Lurray Caverns, Colonial Williamsburg, and maybe Ginter Gardens, as well as stay in hotels.
