If you intend to carry a concealed firearm, you must have a permit in each state in which you carry it. Some states allow permits from other states, some don't. Since you have computer access, check the online status of the states in which you intend to travel. There is no other way for you to legally keep a firearm concealed. You must have a permit and comply with the laws of every state in which you carry it concealed.
