Anyone fly out of Trenton/Frontier Airlines with guns yet?

It's in West Trenton. It's fine there, not near downtown at all.

Those of us living there prefer to call it "Ewing".

Hey! I need to live in this Constitution-forsaken state. I can at least eschew any and all connection with the $#!thole that is the state capital.

I hear you Andy.

 

When I worked at Mercer County Airport, our mailing address was West Trenton.

 

sorry.

Trenton Airport is phenomenal.

Interesting. So how exactly have residents been flying out of NJ airports with guns all along? Sheer grace of God? 

 

Admittedly I have never flown out of a NJ airport with a handgun. Only PA, CT, TX, GA and FL. ABE is about the same distance as EWR for me anyway and I hate the long TSA line, parking and having to use the god awful shuttle bus. So ABE it is. 

 

 

Because the 3rd Circuit ruling is recent and it's not TSA's job?

 

How is it I got caught with unloaded handguns by NJ cops, including NJSP, several times during the 80s and was not prosecuted even though I did not meet an exception in the law? One of my friends had one confiscated at a friend's house in the late 90s. I don't think a friends house is listed as an exception. It took him a few months, but he got it returned.

It's not THAT recent. The Revell ruling is a few years old.

Revell is different because he was from out-of-state (Utah resident). Therefore his affirmative defense under FOPA (18 U.S. Code § 926A - Interstate transportation of firearms

) failed because his presence in NJ became treated as a destination (not his fault, but affected by his decision to retrieve his luggage)where he had ready access to firearms rather than an intermediate state or jurisdiction. Having access, such as staying overnight in a hotel, was the issue.

 

The question for a NJ resident is different, because NJ is the jurisdiction of origin and the trip is legal so long as FOPA transport requirements are met and possession at the destination is also legal.

 

IANAL of course, but I think I have this one right.

 

Origin: Your NJ residence (where it is legal to carry). Destination: (as checked out by traveler).

 

The NJSP guidelines for LEO questioning of a traveler are very clear: http://www.state.nj.us/njsp/about/fire_trans.html
