The woman in the article took her firearm to New York City, and declared it when checking in for her return flight. When she declared it, the ticket agent called the police, because she illegally possessed the firearm in the state of New York.
Agreed. I'll stick to states that respect the constitution.
There's a site on the net (should be easy to find with a search) that has a color coded US map showing which states honor other state's gun permits. Makes it easy to plan a trip.
I think I’ve seen it. Still, if the destination is DC, well...
Ah, okay. Thanks. She should have check the gun laws there before going and taking it.
Uhh ok impeccable logic there Francis. That was one of the first red flags into the systems thought process.
On a secondary note we had a USCG member come through with an expended 25mm brass casing from the cutter he was on in the Gulf. It was a piece of memorabilia for him. I held his bag for a short time and have him wait while I sought out a supervisor for an opinion. Under “normal” circumstances it would be confiscated immediately. I made sure to ask the supervisor who was ex-SF. His opinion was that it was just a brass cylinder(which it was) and to let it pass. We told him to keep it in his bag and don't show it around. He was very grateful. All TSA at that time weren't mindless drones but can't say that now.
As I understand it, the rules for handguns in New York State are pretty simple. You must have a permit to even possess a handgun in NY. You must be a resident of the state to get a permit. No visitor (except someone like a Federal Officer) can legally possess a handgun in NY. If you move to NY you have to leave handguns behind until you can get your permit. If you move to NYC forget about it.
If you drive through the state and don’t make any stops you can have one in your car but if you are caught you’ll still be in for a major hassle. If you have a handgun in checked baggage and your plane unexpectedly stops in NY, don’t claim your baggage or you can be arrested.
TSA agents know the rules for flying with firearms. They can’t be expected to know the rules for each state where a firearm might be going.
And of course GA, like most states doesn’t “register” handguns.
This Ping List is for all things pertaining to the 2nd Amendment.
FReepmail me if you want to be added to or deleted from the list.
More 2nd Amendment related articles on FR's Bang List.
“TSA agents know the rules for flying with firearms. “
TSA agents are the worst source for info about flying with guns.
Gun regulations and laws are meant only to harass and punish the law abiding.
” Wolf and Jordan spent less than a day in jail, but each had to pay lawyers $15,000 to bargain the felony charge down to “public disorder.” “
Do ya think that the judges, lawyers, and TSA folks could possibly be having dinner together at SPARKS on a regular basis where those 15K FEES get split up ??????
I have no problems posting photo’s it just that if you go over a certain limit with Photobucket they won’t let you post from third party sources whatever that is. I think things will come back after the 10th. which is my anniversary date with them.
Why haven’t a gang of greedy lawyers not sued these infringement states into oblivion?
I wouldn’t even bring myself to NY much less a gun for the blue lives matter crowd to get their rocks off.
The TSA geniuses took Joe Foss’s congressional medal of honor...too much like a Chinese throwing star.
Not much. I just want to vent. I think we can still do that on the FR.
Look up “immediate family member” in the SAFE act, quite restrictive. Yet the Leftists want totally expansion of “family” when it comes to allowing illegals into the country - blatant hypocrisy. Basically in NYS they prevent handing down guns in families.
I can only hope someone runs against Cuomo.
I am not referring to reciprocity. I am referring to the States being obligating to recognize the God-given right regardless of permit.
Your original reply to me was a statement of fact (as in the 2nd Amendment is a Right), but it had nothing to do with what I said to the OP, that's all.
I simply stated that his assertion that living in a State with Constitutional Carry Gun Laws would not be enough to allow him to Carry in a State that currently has Reciprocity or would under a Federal Reciprocity Law if one was ever passed.
You would have to have a Conceal Carry Permit issued by your Home State in order to Carry outside your State.
