    NYC gun charges dropped. Now I can Speak

    in 2A Legislation and Politics

    Posted

    Found this tidbit on the NRA-ILA site:

    Special Advisory for New York and New Jersey Airports: Despite federal law that protects travelers, authorities at JFK, La Guardia, Newark and Albany airports have been known to enforce state and local firearms laws against airline travelers who are merely passing through the jurisdiction. In some cases, even persons traveling in full compliance with federal law have been arrested or threatened with arrest. As noted above in the section entitled "Federal Law on the Transportation of Firearms," FOPA`s protections have been substantially narrowed by court decisions, and persons traveling with firearms may want to avoid New York and New Jersey or make arrangements to ship their firearms to their destination, rather than bringing them through these jurisdictions.

    NYC gun charges dropped. Now I can Speak

    If I was being diverted to NYC; I don’t think I would tell anyone. I’m sure they would have some requirement that they notify TSA if someone told them they have a gun. TSA would actually have something to do, and probably be worse than dealing with real cops.

    I only flew with a gun once, everything was properly declared. When I got to Orange County, CA my bag came down the carousel with a big red tag on it that said “GUNâ€. There were cops there with drug sniffing dogs going over the bags. They saw it and didn’t say a thing. However, with that tag on it I’m surprised the gun was still in it. I won’t do that anymore.

    (That was prior to 911, I wouldn’t even try to check a gun through on a flight now. If I want to take a gun I’ll have it shipped to my hotel.)

    I flew from Nashville to Manchester, NH a few years ago and checked my firearm there and back with no problems at all. The ticketing agent only asked if the ammunition was in the manufacturers package and that my firearm was in a secured/locked hard case. Neither airport asked to see or inspect the firearm. Only fill out a small form that sticks to the case of the firearm.

    Regarding being diverted to NYC and having a firearm in your possession it seems that the best solution at that point would be to rent a car and drive to the Philadelphia airport 2 hours away which is a much friendlier 2A state than NYC where we also have reciprocity.

    The chamber could be alternated with .410 and .45LC. I don't personally use one for self defense but use a Glock 22 .40 caliber along with a Remington 870 Home Defense. I personally would not want to be hit with a .410 round and then a .45LC right after that or vise verse. It's just more of a versatile firearm that could be used at home for self defense as all that I am saying if a 12 Gauge was not an option and someone lived in a confined area such as an apartment, etc.

    If space is constrained in your residence I would recommend the Taurus Judge for Home Defense. They will run you a little more than a 12 Gauge but at least you could carry it with you or keep it in your car.

    I stopped by Wal-Mart earlier this week to look at their selection and believe it or not the employee that assisted me was somewhat knowledgeable on firearms and was able to answer my questions. She also let me take a look at the inventory book of what they can order. I believe she said you had to put 50% down and it would take 3-5 days to receive any order placed. The book was pretty thick on what all they could order but their actually inventory was pretty scarce. Might have had 10 or 12 guns in the case.
