New York Arrests Legal Gun Owners Who Follow TSA Rules

The Lid: Fox News’ John Stossel on Wednesday delivered another timely warning to law-abiding gun owners who may be traveling to New York, and in the process threw a verbal punch at the Big Apple legal system whose version of enforcing the laws is arresting people at the airport for essentially doing what the law requires.

Stossel’s tale involves a Georgia woman who brought a firearm along when she visited her daughter in New York. He notes, “Roughly once a week, New York City locks up people for carrying guns legally licensed by other states.”

People with guns declare them at the airport ticket counter. The TSA checks the guns, in checked baggage, and sends the bags on their way. Except in New York, where people who declare on their trip home are told to wait and are then arrested.  read more

  1. If politicians are never punished for violating our rights, then they will continue to do so.

    It should be a crime to impose a state law limiting our federal rights. The federal gov’t is supposed to make sure this doesn’t happen. Nice job losers.

  2. “shall not be infringed” ~ except you must get approval from your state, buy a permit, pay to receive minimal training regardless of your skill set and hope other states honor a reciprocity agreement or you’re in jail for a felony.

    Shall not be infringed my lily white ass.
