Get Arrested
This sounds like non-sense...? I you attempt to transport a item that is restricted you get arrested?
Wasn’t there a law passed a few years ago that explicitly protected travelers in this sort of situation?
Targeted arrest.
It’s simple don’t fly Delta airlines. I had a similar problem 2 years ago while flying with Delta where the agent contacted the Police when I declared a firearm to have me investigated to determine if I legally possessed the firearm I declared. I haven’t flown Delta since.
So, apparently since it was in a case and in his luggage, it was determined to be a “concealed weapon” for which he does not have a permit in NY?
How does the State deal with hunters who transport their long-guns in cases?
Thanks Delta Airlines.

Before issuing press releases you ought to read the U.S. Constitution!
Nothing much new in communists America. Closing down our freedoms have been going on for many years. We are fast becoming slaves of the State.
A patriot checks in his gun voluntarily and gets arrested.
An Attorney General SELL GUNS TO DEALERS who kill agents, is praised and gets away with murder!
* Travelers must declare all firearms to the airline during the ticket counter check-in process.
* The firearm must be unloaded.
* The firearm must be in a hard-sided container.
* The container must be locked. A locked container is defined as one that completely secures the firearm from being accessed. Locked cases that can be pulled open with little effort cannot be brought aboard the aircraft.
* If firearms are not properly declared or packaged, TSA will provide the bag to law enforcement for resolution with the airline. If the issue is resolved, law enforcement will release the bag to TSA so screening may be completed. TSA must resolve all alarms of checked luggage. If a locked container containing a firearm alarms, TSA will contact the airline, who will make a reasonable attempt to contact the owner and advise the passenger to go to the screening location. If contact is not made, the container will not be placed on the aircraft.
* If a locked container alarms during screening and is not marked as containing a declared firearm, TSA will cut the lock in order to resolve the alarm.
* Travelers should remain in the area designated by the aircraft operator or TSA representative to take the key back after the container is cleared for transportation. Travelers must securely pack any ammunition in fiber (such as cardboard), wood or metal boxes or other packaging specifically designed to carry small amounts of ammunition. Firearm magazines and ammunition clips must be securely boxed or included within a hard-sided case containing an unloaded firearm.
* Small arms ammunition, including ammunition not exceeding .75 caliber for a rifle or pistol and shotgun shells of any gauge, may be carried in the same hard-sided case as the firearm, as long as it follows the packing guidelines described above.
TSA prohibits black powder or percussion caps used with black-powder.
Was the gun loaded, or was there a bullet chambered?
Get Arrested
He is screwed. He will do time for this in the Peoples Republic of New York
The question is why did he have the gun - if it was in his baggage, he was technically breaking NYC law as soon as he pulled it off the carousel. If he was just making a connection, it shouldn't have left the tarmac.
Don't check firearms to locations that prohibit firearms possession.
Even better, don't even visit those locations.
FEDEX
Lesson learned - do not travel to New York for any reason.
If he stayed over night in NY with his glock, then tried to leave another day...HE’S VERY VERY SCREWED.
I hope he sues their asses for all he can get
Unconstitutional and noxious NYBS.
End of story.
Blatantly unconstitutional.
The charges will be dropped............
