Weren't you denied an ammo sale because they ID'd you as from NY? I think Pa.

Yeah…Brown get down, black fight back, white goodnight.
The time we lived in Montana my kids had two school delays…never for snow. Once an eagle dropped a baby deer on the power lines and the other was a bull moose on the playground. Montana things…
Maybe the most unpredictable animals ive ever dealt with. Ive seen very docile moose who allow people to pet them. And ive seen the "destroy on sight" moose.
Put it this way, im always more wary when I see fresh moose prints than fresh bear prints. Bears can be reasoned with somewhat, moose are a crap shoot, and usually very angry.
Back-up Bearguns
Whether archer, bearhoundsman, or just around camp in bear country, a potent handgun on the hip is so much handier than a nine-pound rifle over your shoulder.

All of my pistols are 9mm, I’ve been needing and meaning to get a .45 or something similar for the past year or so… seems like the 9 will basically be carrying a rock and you throw the rock and say “please stop” haha
Thinking, 41 mag, 44, 454, something that you can touch off fast accurately, if man can stab you from 8 steps away faster than you can pull, aim, fire a bear will be there even faster and with more stabby items and out weighs you at least 2-1.

If your weapons aren't accessible, and you don't stop for anything more than gas you can cross IL perfectly legally.
Still, if you can skip it without adding too much more driving, I'd skip it.

Yea, polar bears are one of the few animals left that actually view humans as prey and not just a threat to be dealt with.
Even Grizzlies don't immediately think "lunch" when they see you. They'll kill you quick enough if they run into you, but they won't actively track you down for food the way polar bears will.

If I lived out there, I think my woods carry gun would be a BFR in 45/70 loaded with some solids.
In fact, I think visiting Montana would be the perfect excuse for me to pick one up...
I want to SBR a Henry Bears Leg in .45/70 and carry it in a leg holster like Steve McQueen.

To be fair, it was Bud's. LGS probably would have given you the ammo for free, out of pity.
Stuff is expensive, but cheaper than buying another gun: 9mm Luger (+P) And (+P+) Pistol & Handgun Ammunition
I've got a .35 caliber Air Rifle suitable for hunting big game: ballistics are about the same for a .38 special...think about it.
This is the one I carried before I had a 10mm and when I was too lazy to go home and swap guns…proven to kill a grizzly.

My folks have alot of bears around them in the Hunter Mountain area, and I have them near me too. I just went online to buy some bear spray and amazon wont ship it here (I already figured that, but wanted to try).
Guess the state would rather me use lethal over non lethal force against wild animals.
If you've never been out west before, you will savor and enjoy it.
Our national parks are an absolute treasure.
If you're driving maybe make a slight detour here or there and quickly just "look" at places like badlands, Rushmore, deadwood, teddy Roosevelt park, custer state park, devils Tower etc. I don't know exactly what is on your route but there will definitely be things that are worth a couple hours detour to be able to say that you saw them.
On your itinerary you also left off Wisconsin, you will need to drive through there to get to Minnesota.
If you are not sure, and don't want any hassle, follow federal transportation law, keep locked and inaccessible from driver, and with ammo separate and only make necessary stops. (Gas, bathroom, food) No sight seeing in non friendly states. Try to route plan ahead of time to gas up and pee break before you hit an unfriendly state to avoid having to stop if possible. Before you leave on your trip, verify that all your lights and directionals work. Use them. Use the cruise control to avoid accidentally speeding and getting pulled over. Follow all traffic laws, only make necessary stops and follow federal laws and you will be fine.

I would LOVE to hear how you get from Illinois to Minnesota without going through either Iowa or Wisconsin. Does your car have flight ability ? Perhaps a ferry ? Maybe you're going to teleport ? Please explain. I'll wait.

I have been traveling all across the country for the last 5 years. I live full time in a RV. we don't own a home.
Here is my advice:
make sure every light on your car/truck/RV works, including marker lights ( if you have any ) and even the license plate light.
DO NOT SPEED, unless you feel lucky.
Keep your firearms and ammo OUT OF SIGHT.......and anything else that might raise suspicion
if you get pulled over, YOU DO NOT ALLOW SEARCHES OF YOUR PERSON OR YOUR VEHILCE. ( if asked )
Long guns are fine, hand guns are the problem. Follow federal law, and you should be fine.

What about duty to inform states?
First of all, it's PAST, not PASSED.
PAST refers to a time prior to the present or is used to express previous experiences or activities. It has other closely related meanings as well. "He worked as a sailor in years past" "Past President" etc.
PASSED refers to the action of overtaking, transferring, or the approval of an action. It too has several other closely related meanings. "He passed the basket to her." "The motorcycle passed the slow-ass camping in the left lane." "The motion passed." etc.
The word you should have used is some form of OVERLOOKED. It would have been much more appropriate.
Next, I wish to point out that it has nothing to do with "busting" you. I fully realize that they quit teaching geography many years ago. I also understand that English and Grammar are no longer taught well.
Feeding your desired destination into your google machine seems simple enough, but AI is frequently wrong and/or completely fabricates answers.
Sorry to have added a few hundred miles and several hours to your drive, as well as blowing your fuel budget and having to research yet another State's laws to which you must comply.
Lastly, what does BATMAN have to do with this ?
TLDR, Blah blah. Listen, boomer, when I type Glacier NP into my Apple Maps it’ll take me there. No one uses AI to get to their destination. I’m sorry you’re so miserable that all you have to contribute is correcting errors… next time I’ll make sure to pull out a map, plot my route, shoot my azimuth, and use my compass to please you.
I know that it’s about a 31 hour drive, 2,200 miles give or take (go ahead, correct me on that while you’re at it, I’ll give you something else to bitch about). But hey, if we are correcting, why are you spacing out your question mark? It’s akwswully suppose to be like this -? Not this ? Why are you double to triple spacing after your periods?
Lighten up, Francis.

It may be "boomer advice" to double check the navigation before a long trip, but that doesn't mean they're not right.

My philosophy is if they can’t respect how I identify and dress they don’t deserve my money. If I can avoid the discrimination zones I do. I turn down work in those areas all the time and explain to the clients I don’t feel safe.
I look forward to Second Amendment Sanctuary Zones so I can have my safe space. Trying to get my county to be the first.
Don’t get pulled over.
As I often say, “only break one law at a time, you are less likely to get caught that way.”

that is entirely up to you. If I am NOT wearing a firearm, and its locked and secured, and no one has crashed into me, I keep my mouth shut.
remember, LEO must have reasonable, articulable suspicion to pull you out of your car. Such as "I smell alcohol" or "I smell pot". If they are just 'fishing' thats were "I don not allow searches" thing comes into play, THEN STOP ANSWERING QUESTIONS without your attorney present.
Above all, try to remain calm, and extremely polite. DO NOT raise your voice. But do whatever the officer asks/commands
