LOL, sorry about that. What beach resort were you thinking of?

Yep, it was EWR and if it were me, knowing what I know now about that, I would rent a car and drive to ABE instead of laying over to check in again the next day. Because of that incident, I would NEVER plan on bringing a handgun on a trip if I had to fly through Chicago, LGA or JFK.

Welcome to the forum Doug.

ok, thanks Vlad.

Yes, I know about FOPA, but does that cover you while driving to the airport? I am not busting balls, I'm really curious now.

Where did you hear that Sigman? I heard it wouldn't happen again until 2094. Hope you're right, I couldn't get up for it last night. Thanks for the pics Nick.

So you're saying that those of us that check our firearm on a flight at EWR when traveling on business or vacation are breaking the law unless we own or rent the property we are ataying at? I don't think that is so, but I could be wrong. I wanted to know the exemption that allows us to drive to the airport with a handgun in the car to take on a flight. Is there a specific exemption or are we breaking the law since we don't have a CCW?

Nice one Mark, thanks.

To me it sounded as if they were deliberately tried to mislead in the story by not mentioning up front that there are exemptions. To me it sounded as if they were just another anti-gunner. We all know the laws suck and are ridiculous. We know Brian did break laws, but if we was living at his parents home, even temporarily, and was now moving his things to his apartment, as far as I know that is covered by the exemptions and doesn't require a carry permit. Just for my own knowledge, can someone tell me which exemption allowed me to transport a handgun to and from EWR when I went on vacation a few months ago, or did I break the law then?

Welcome to the forum.

Good one Shane.

The way it's written it sounds like unless you're in the process of moving, you can't have a handgun in you're car. This isn't Chicago. Do your handguns never leave your house? I have taken mine to the range, to PA, to a friends house to do some work on it. The first time they mention it only says that he "was arrested for possession" and "didn't have a carry permit for NJ". Doesn't sound very accurate, again, unless your handguns never leave your house.

Did anyone read the article in the link? What the f*ck is with these reporters? Is it total ignorance, stupidity or intentional lying to the public? Twice in the article: Aitken, 27, became a cause celebre for gun advocates when he was arrested last year in Mount Laurel for possession of three handguns he legally purchased in Colorado but didn’t have a carry permit for in New Jersey. New Jersey gun owners are required to have a carry permit to transport their handguns in a vehicle unless they’re changing residences or going hunting. Aitken had his handguns locked and unloaded in the trunk of his car, as required by law, but didn’t have a carry permit.

I would say no since you are supposed to do a change of address within 30 days of moving to a new address.

Happy 40th Chris!

'63 Split Window Coupe here. But like most, don't drive it enough.

Ok, that makes sense, thanks. Glad you're enjoing it. I'm thinking about getting one.

Hey Ben, Just curious why you went with a CA compliant version instead of the NY compliant one, (811031)?

I plan on being there.

I saw the show that was mentioned in the original post. It was Judge Napolitano on his show Freedom Watch while talking to Brian Aitkan's parents. I cringed a few times during that report listening to some of the things the judge said. The man is very pro Constitution and pro 2nd Amendment, but unfortunately said some pretty stupid, uninformed things including that Christie was, ready, pro gun. I just shook my head in disbelief.

Welcome to the forum and thank you for your service.
