    LEAVE IT AT HOME as much as I hate to say that its your best course of action if you dont want a felony weapons charge over stupid traffic stop.

    Unless you are still a RI resident you will be in deep shit if caught with it while in RI. Next 95 is a bad bad bad road to travel with a fucking Pistol in the car, Unless its in the trunk and LOCKED up with no ammo and that secured in a different locked box in the trunk. You will be traveling in nearly all of the worst pistol possession regulated states and DC in the union. You wont even fall under federal transport laws since your destination is a place your not allowed to posses a weapon. On your return to GA you will still not fall under Federal transport rules because you were not allowed to posses a weapon in RI where you left from.

    Like I said I hate to say it but leave the pistol at home, I know I know, I am one of the biggest CCW advocates and carrying of a gun while traveling but I would not try it with your route or destination with any route.

    Go to nearly any outdoor store and get your self a couple of 18% O/C 1/2 oz deals. They are legal everywhere you are going to be and while not as effective as a pistol, it will give you at least a fighting chance if you needed to use them and keep your ass outta felony charges if you get caught with them.

    I might suggest a set of cheap ass tire chains its been snowing up there a lot lately ;)

        Do Not Speed In Virginia! No matter if you take 95 or 81. Just dont do it. Bring extra fluids just in case.

        If you take 95, there are a bunch of e30 owners a few minutes away in MD/DC area, with tons of spare parts, or food for a break.

            trunk, back seat, front seat idk but il make it work.

            as for the pistol. it kills me not to bring it (quite possibly literally haha) but i understand your points and i will not be bringing it.

            i dont plan on stopping much, only for gas (which is when i will eat and piss) but if anyone wants to meet up as long as its not far off the highway il be glad to. it might be late into the night/morning though as im leaving for the drive as soon as i get off work. but PM me your cell and where your at and im sure we can meet for a coffee break (might do me some good)

            and thanks to those who offered roadside assistance for me haha. i have faith in my car as ive made a similar trip before, but you never know what can happen

            thanks

                I dont pay too much attention to the weather out that way when I am not out east. I just saw where a big ass winter storm blew though and fucked up the central plains and upper midwest. A good friend thats working in Northern WV called to tell me they were off work for a day due to it (that Never happens when working for Chevron ) so I just assumed the whole NE got it too.

                  They will fit easy, here is 5 cases of German bier that hold 20 bottles in a case. German bottles are 0.5L so 10 cases will be easy.
