Pregnant woman faces a felony after trying to bring an unloaded handgun to MN from NY

[Bill4282]

The most ironic/pathetic part of the whole thing is that you'll have no problem getting a gun into NYC: the airport hands you your bags on the baggage carousel just like anywhere else... but when you try to take your gun back out of NYC, they take you out of line and to jail, then charge you with a crime that would strip you of your gun rights everywhere.

. There have been many, many of these cases. They have arrested folks picking up from baggage claim when tipped off by airlines or TSA if a checked gun is in luggage.The local NYC courts have ruled that a stop within NYS terminates FOPA for nonLEOs. In reality, the DA pleads down to misdemeanor, $1000 fine, time served and gun forfeiture. Just a money maker for NYC. If flying anywhere that could be diverted to NYC, ship gun to final destination FFL. I refuse to go to New England states, which should be given to Canada and good riddance. Give CA to Mexico.

The one advantage to these threads is to provide information to those of us who may get diverted to NY for some reason. If that happens, I now know to not collect my bag. I'll just call the airline and ask them to forward it to my final destination. Pretty hard for NY to arrest me if I am not in possession, right?

If flying anywhere that could be diverted to NYC, ship gun to final destination FFL.

If the gun is a handgun, and you are not a resident of the state of final destination, exactly how does this help?

As always, good to know they have their priorities in order.

Outrageous! We need to call the Dutch up and get them to dredge that wasteland of political corruption and let it float out to sea. Rumor has it they know a thing or two about aquatic engineering projects. As another commenter noted, they are barely part of the United States any more with such draconian laws and I say that as a Californian!

This one's done till we read something new.
