Any horror stories involved with that? I can't quite recall. Anyone done it?
For the record, I've flown with a gun numerous times and know the procedures, and also know that legally I can do it. I'm asking more about reality. |

They're gonna fuck you unless you REFUSE to take possession of any luggage with a gun in it. Don't even touch it. |

In theory, you are fine so long as the gun is legal where you are traveling to.
In practice, there is no way in hell I would risk it. |

If you don't have to pick-up your luggage you should be ok. How long is the lay over? Got insurance, right?

No way in hell I would touch my bag. Even if someone else took it off the carousel. I wouldn't even try to tell them about it. I'd watch it walk away and report the bag stolen. It is in the airline's possession until you reach your destination where it is legal to receive the bag and gun.

Try to sweet talk the chick in the tailor shop. She may smuggle in a hacksaw.

I do understand that in the event of a cancellation I would have to refuse to take posession. But to calrify, you strongly advise against it anyways? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

I do understand that in the event of a cancellation I would have to refuse to take posession. But to calrify, you strongly advise against it anyways? If your luggage will be handled 100% by the airline you should be fine. If by layover you mean "Fly in one day and fly out another" and you have a gun in your checked luggage, if that luggage enters into your possession at all, they'll screw you. Don't do it. If by "layover" you actually mean "connecting flight" as long as there are no "hiccups" you should be OK. Me? I wouldn't risk it. The NY powers that be are assholes and the NYC ones are even bigger assholes than that. Even with my NY handgun license I wouldn't fly out of LaGuardia with a gun anymore. |

The gun isn't the issue. It is having ammo with it.
NY law is if you have it together it is considered "Loaded". A woman traveling from ND got a layover in shit-stain NY. She had ammo with her gun & got arrested. Go without ammo & buy it at your destination. |

No problem FOPA 1986 covers this - you will be fine... NOT
It was so worth taking it in the ass on the machinegun deal though - i keep hearing this here. I would not travel to NY with a firearm. |

In ny you can't even touch a handgun without a pistol permit. Only residents can get a pistol permit. You need the permit to poses the handgun. Carry is subject to county you live in. They incorporate it into the permit. The permit is full registration. Make model and serial number. The airport is in the NYC limits. I believe it is 7 years in rikers island for an unregistered handgun. NYC has different laws then ny state. All of ny state pistol permits are not valid in NYC. You need a special NYC endorsement.
I lived in ny for 37 years. Stay away from ny with guns. Same with nj. Md is getting like this too. Change your flight to non stop. If you have an emergency do not take posession of your luggage. Good luck. |

You need a pistol permit to possess a handgun. It was the gun. The ammo didn't help but it was the gun. If you have pistol ammo on your posession you better have a pistol permit or prove you have a carbine that accepts this caliber. Ny sucks for guns. I lived there 37 years. It has just gotten worse not better. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Is there ANY chance due to weather, mechanical failure, or any other unknown circumstance that you will have to take possession of your checked luggage while in New York? Can't see the future? Then DON'T even risk it.
Unless of course you have a handgun license issued by the city. |

If it's only a layover I don't see the problem since the gun will remain cargo and won't be in your possession.

Avoid NY.
Some of the biggest pucker factor I ever had was the drive from CT to TN when I moved. Hundreds of pounds of hardware and accessories, including one subgun. My asshole loosened up so much at the PA border that my farts stopped making noise. |

Ask here NY Hometown Forum PS- Do not do it in NY or NJ. You will end up in Jail. |

Sorry for quoting you wrong. I thought the nope nope nope gif was an ad. Lol |

I used to fly in to JFK and La Guida with a handgun, now no way no how

|
why would you take possession of your checked baggage during a lay over?
|
|
I would not even sweat it. Lots of flights in and out of that place. Simply dont take possession of the luggage and have it forwarded to your destination. |

View Quote FOPA isn't even the biggest benefit of the 1986 laws... Before that you couldn't even buy ammo freely. Had to be over the counter, and that was with records. Goodbye online ammo purchases, bulk savings etc... Guns are useless without ammo. It was a lot more expensive then naturally, and harder to obtain freely. In my opinion regaining the right to buy ammo was worth the MG ban especially considering MG's were already lost in 1934....not like you could just go buy a MG in the store in 1986. |

Would be safest to ship it to your destination as machine parts. Don't send a Kimber, think old model 60 from a pawnshop just in case it gets "lost" on the way.
Or just do without or rebook flight. |

My Dad worked for a major airline for 40+ years and I always heard "layover" used to refer to an overnight thing. Nevertheless, good luck with whatever you decide. Seems like you should be fine. |
