I agree, but if you strictly follow FOPA....don't fly in and stay in NYC overnight..., MD ultimately had to pay on the FL guy... NJ hasn't busted anyone following FOPA that I know (lady w/PA permit had gun on her person)... I know a guy who was young and stupid once and drove all over the East coast in the '80's with no permits and never got busted...winters wrote:yes but NJ,MD,NY have shown time and time again that they don't care what federal law says.ScottDLS wrote:I got a valid non-resident Connecticut pistol license for just this reason. So at least if I get stopped in CT I have a valid license. MD, NJ, I'd just have to rely on FOPA and have it locked up in the trunk separate from the ammo.winters wrote:i know all we hear about on tv is the bad stuff. But i still wouldnt chance it through the NE states. they just cant be trusted at all.
im going to dc soon to see my sister and i make sure my luggage doesnt have any bullets,spent shell casing or anything.I dont even use my range bag to travel. I have been told they are not looking for gun powder with there sniffer machine though.
I would never recommend doing what he did, but today you have more options. I guess it's statistics....I travel quite a bit for business and have made a bit of a "hobby" collecting permits/licenses. So far I have done TX (home), FL, NH, PA, ME, CT, & AZ. Going to try for MA, IL, NV, and WA. Maybe even DC if the courts ever work through the current issues.
