What essentials do you always have on board?

issues carry permits (counties? states? I thought it was the county)
and can you still carry when leaving this jurisdiction?

Many are issued by the states and in many of those states CC laws there are
reciprocity clauses. I'm sure there are some places where the county sheriff
issues the permits and some others that it is issued by the city. Those
county and city are generally the places where you have to know somebody to
get one.

Most of the state laws are "Shall Issue" laws where the permit MUST be
issued unless there is a reason for it not to be issued and legitimate
reasons are spelled out in the law.

And for those leftist places that don't, there is always the SHALL NOT BE
INFRINGED clause of the 2nd Amendment...

They're nearly all governed by state law. Generally the permit is
mandated and requirements set and forms standardized at the state level,
and the actual approval process is at the local level (city or county).

Generally, the permit is valid throughout the state it's for, although I
think there are a couple of exceptions in a couple of states. (Um,
there are often specific places which are all prohibited, like the
secure zone at airports for example; by "throughout" I just mean that
there aren't entire cities that are different -- usually.)

And then most states have at least some kind of reciprocity with some
other states. I've carried in KY and TN on my MN permit, entirely
legally (I have to conform to the laws of the state I'm actually in, and
it's my responsibility to find out what those are; in addition to
research, I was with local permit-holders).

Then there are out-of-state permits; if I traveled to Florida regularly
I'd get a Florida permit, and as another poster recently mentioned,
transfer my gun from my luggage to my holster when I got in the rental
car, or even back in the airport terminal (generally a permit-holder is
legal carrying in the *non-secure* portions of even major commercial
airports). Florida also happens to be the most widely accepted permit;
a Florida permit would let me carry in a bunch of states I can't carry
in now; but I essentially never visit any of them.

As you may have noticed, lots of this is a matter of state law. And
ignorance is no excuse.

And let us not forget Vermont and Alaska, which have no requirement for
permits to carry. If you can legally own the gun, you can legally carry
it. Seems like a civilized arrangement to me.
