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.
