I know there is no federal law that prohibits interstate travel with a
firearm but the individual states ... and some cities (like NYC) have
some very rigid and often confusing regulations. To the best I can
determine, I cannot legally travel from MA to SC or FL without being
in violation in at least in some states. I am sure it is done, but
at the risk of being arrested in the event you happen to be caught by
a unreasonable cop. Some types of RV's fall into another category,
meaning a "house" but some are not. Local and state laws and
regulations are confusing and conflicting.

I think the Senate made a huge mistake in not passing the universal
background check bill. As gun owners we need to demonstrate a
willingness to have some common sense regulations, especially when
they don't have any impact on responsible, law abiding citizens.


I bought my .45 this morning as mentioned in another thread. I completed the ATF Form 4473, and an
employee used the eform (
http://www.atf.gov/applications/e4473/faq.html ) to get the background
check results. Took about five minutes.

If the bill that failed in the Senate had been limited to what I went through, I'd say go for it.
But, the Senate bill, in my opinion, was far to onerous with its requirements for individuals
transferring a weapon. I shouldn't have to wait for some kind of approval process or anything else
to sell or give a weapon to my brother, for example.


Even if someone's brother is a violent criminal and wife beater?


Whose brother?


Salmonbait


Why would it matter?

Yes, that's true. Best bet is to carry it disassembled (gun parts),
in separate locked containers, with everything well hidden within your
other luggage, especially ammo. In New York possession of handgun
ammo is just about as serious as possession of the gun itself.
