An omnibus 2A bill which regulates Bump Stocks and recognizes National Right to Carry?

I know a guy that used to live in Delaware, this table from Wikipedia is accurate.

Everything you wanted to know about transporting Enjoy.

So, after further searching on the world wide web...I was able to find this reference of yours. Apparently, there is some conflicting information coming from the TSA... Result 1) Transporting Firearms and Ammunition (no need to declare parts) Result 2) Prohibited Items (no need to declare parts) Result 3) Packing Firearms and Ammunition (must declare parts) ...I'll admit, with this added knowledge I would also take the extra 10 minutes to declare the part at the counter. In the end...glad everything worked out for the OP.

From the TSA.gov website FirearmsWhen traveling, comply with the laws concerning posession of firearms as they vary by local, state and international governments. Declare each firearm each time you present it for transport as checked baggage. Ask your airline about limitations or fees that may apply. Firearms must be unloaded and locked in a hard-sided container and transported as checked baggage only. Only the passenger should retain the key or combination to the lock. Firearm parts, including magazines, clips, bolts and firing pins, are prohibited in carry-on baggage, but may be transported in checked baggage. Replica firearms, including firearm replicas that are toys, may be transported in checked baggage only. Rifle scopes are permitted in carry-on and checked baggage. United States Code, Title 18, Part 1, Chapter 44, firearm definitions includes: any weapon (including a starter gun) which will, or is designed to, or may readily be converted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive; the frame or receiver of any such weapon; any firearm muffler or firearm silencer; and any destructive device. As defined by 49 CFR 1540.5 a loaded firearm has a live round of ammunition, or any component thereof, in the chamber or cylinder or in a magazine inserted in the firearm. ...I myself would simply toss the slide in the checked baggage and be done with it. I wouldn't include a note, but again - that's just me.

Be polite, be professional...and remember your 4th and 5th!

Abstinence is the only absolute...

Take a look at this link...it should get you started in the right direction. If you are military (or former military)...no training necessary - simply submit proof of service. Also..."Any National Rifle Association firearms safety or training course"... http://www.nrainstructors.org/search.aspx

The only Non-Resident permits that PA honors, that are likely obtainable are NH and TX. Current reciprocity for PA/NH has been in-place since 2004...and PA/TX since 2005.

According to the following thread... http://www.njgunforums.com/forum/index.php/topic/81880-meanwhile-in-new-hampshire/ ...some people have submitted with the current form and NH has issued to the Non-Resident.

As of today (7/10/16) it seems that of all the above listed states...PA will only recognize NR permits from Texas and NH. So one might argue that a weekend trip to Texas would be the best value, based on current reciprocity. Rationale = Texas NR is valid in PA and DE (plus 29 more states)...where as New Hampshire NR is valid in PA, but not DE (and only 24 more states). No harm in gathering the rest...reciprocity can always change in the future.

I do not have a NH permit...but it appears that it's as simple as filling out the application and mailing it in. I would include a $100 check made out to "STATE OF N.H. - TREASURER" References include... https://www.nh.gov/safety/divisions/nhsp/ssb/permitslicensing/plupr.html https://www.nh.gov/safety/divisions/nhsp/ssb/permitslicensing/documents/dssp260.pdf

Yes, in accordance with exemptions. Debatable. IMO...the best practice is to exercise your 4th and 5th...you don't ever have to disclose your destination or reason for travel. LEO can ask...you don't have to share. PERIOD. If you choose to answer, then the best answer would be the truth - which means that you are traveling to a range (they have them out-of-state). If traveling "through" a state, then FOPA applies (IIRC...it's unloaded, locked, NOT in glove compartment). Let me ask you...once you leave a state - are you still subject to that states travel laws? Do you have a recognized permit in the other state?

If your primary concern is to CC in PA...the best option is to get your New Hampshire NR permit. To the best of my knowledge it is honored in PA. If your primary concern is to simply get a NR permit...then you should look into Virginia and/or Florida. http://handgunlaw.us/documents/NonResidentPermits.pdf

So...been thinking about travel exemptions lately...what's the real difference between the highlighted portions below? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ f.Nothing in subsections b., c. and d. of N.J.S.2C:39-5 shall be construed to prevent: (1)A member of any rifle or pistol club organized in accordance with the rules prescribed by the National Board for the Promotion of Rifle Practice, in going to or from a place of target practice, carrying such firearms as are necessary for said target practice, provided that the club has filed a copy of its charter with the superintendent and annually submits a list of its members to the superintendent and provided further that the firearms are carried in the manner specified in subsection g. of this section; (2)A person carrying a firearm or knife in the woods or fields or upon the waters of this State for the purpose of hunting, target practice or fishing, provided that the firearm or knife is legal and appropriate for hunting or fishing purposes in this State and he has in his possession a valid hunting license, or, with respect to fresh water fishing, a valid fishing license; (3)A person transporting any firearm or knife while traveling: (a)Directly to or from any place for the purpose of hunting or fishing, provided the person has in his possession a valid hunting or fishing license; or (b)Directly to or from any target range, or other authorized place for the purpose of practice, match, target, trap or skeet shooting exhibitions, provided in all cases that during the course of the travel all firearms are carried in the manner specified in subsection g. of this section and the person has complied with all the provisions and requirements of Title 23 of the Revised Statutes and any amendments thereto and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ sorry if this has been asked in the past...I tried searching for the subject matter but was unsuccessful. Thanks in advance!
