This sounds like non-sense...? I you attempt to transport a item that is restricted you get arrested?

Wasn’t there a law passed a few years ago that explicitly protected travelers in this sort of situation?

Sorry mis-read the post. Technically, I guess he would be guilty.

It’s purely political. NYC is a police state.
If you offend the authorities, they find a way to arrest you.

America the free!
As long as you abide by the 908,000 laws.
This does not apply to the millions of innocent, hard working illegal aliens.

It’s simple don’t fly Delta airlines. I had a similar problem 2 years ago while flying with Delta where the agent contacted the Police when I declared a firearm to have me investigated to determine if I legally possessed the firearm I declared. I haven’t flown Delta since.

Should NYC be allowed to restrict freedom of speech?

So, apparently since it was in a case and in his luggage, it was determined to be a “concealed weapon” for which he does not have a permit in NY?
How does the State deal with hunters who transport their long-guns in cases?

How does the State deal with hunters who transport their long-guns in cases? There are another 127 laws which address that.
Just go along with it.

It’s common practice in New York to make these kinds of arrests. Airlines are required to contact the NY cops when they find any gun in luggage. If that person does not have a New York permit, they are arrested.
The most egregious case I am aware of invovled someone whose plane was diverted because of weather and they were bussed into NYC from another state (PA if I recall) to catch another plane. Because he had to recheck his luggage in New York, he was arrested on a felony.

Sounds like a good case for jury nullification that was discussed elsewhere today.

The 1986 firearms owner’s protection act. Not that the antis pay much attention to it.

Special Advisory for New York and New Jersey Airports: Despite federal law that protects travelers, authorities at JFK, La Guardia, Newark and Albany airports have been known to enforce state and local firearms laws against airline travelers who are merely passing through the jurisdiction. In some cases, even persons traveling in full compliance with federal law have been arrested or threatened with arrest. As noted above in the section entitled "Federal Law on the Transportation of Firearms," FOPA`s protections have been substantially narrowed by court decisions, and persons traveling with firearms may want to avoid New York and New Jersey or make arrangements to ship their firearms to their destination, rather than bringing them through these jurisdictions.One would hope that eventually someone will be able to bring this before the higher courts and restrict New York and New Jersey from these illegal arrests.

Nothing much new in communists America. Closing down our freedoms have been going on for many years. We are fast becoming slaves of the State.
