Really? There are gun owners who don't know you can't take a pistol into NY? You've never heard that NY has really draconian gun laws? The repeated warnings on the airlines/TSA website to check with local laws did not give you a clue?
You do realize that not all gun owners (and I would go as far as saying the majority of gun owners) do not frequent gun forums and read law books on in depth gun laws of every state. The average gun owner here grew up shooting guns and uses them for hunting and sport. They could care less what the law in New York is. I can easily see how someone traveling at an airport for the first time would naturally call the airport and ask how to legally transport the gun. There should be a system in place that lets the person know if the state they are going to does not allow it.
When you drive down the street, there are signs that tell you the speed limit. You don't have to go law enforcement in every state you plan to venture through and find out what the various speed limits are going to be before traveling. The road signs provide an easy outlet for that information. An airport should be able to provide the same courtesy, ESPECIALLY if it's ran by any form of government. The fact that this woman can be charged with a crime over this is despicable.
