Kari - Obviously, your right to self defense AND your protection of your
daughters supercedes ANY stupid State law that attempts to nullify that
right of yours.  If you are going to attempt a cross-country trip with
your gals, the thought of carrying a handgun or long gun has to be your
decision to make.  I wouldn't do it without.

Take a look at http://www.nraila.org/research/riflaws.html to take a
look at the most current State laws concerning the carrying, in your
vehicle, of handguns/rifles/shotguns, as a "non-resident" through
various States, some of which do NOT respect one's right to
self-defense!  You'll have two daughters traveling with you, so they,
once "educated", should be able to keep things "shipshape"!

Probably be best that you avoid NY (ESPECIALLY NYC!), MA and DC.  The
ONLY folks allowed to have guns in those areas are the criminals & the
cops (sometimes, especially in NYC, it's difficult to tell the
difference!).

Traveling down South, though, is a delight!  We STILL have some control
over the radicals who would make us carbon copies of the Northern
Tribes!
