Traveling to Vermont

#1

Post by parabelum »

We will be headed up to Vermont again here in the next few weeks.

In the past, once we got to the proximity of the fascist NY State, its take the gun out of holster, empty it, put it into a lockbox separate from ammo/mags time...

Anyone know if this still applies when going through that State, or has anything changed in the last year or so?

I know we're good in AR, TN, KY, WV, PA and VT, but it's that idiotic NY State.

Once you get to Vermont, keep the lock box handy for when you approach school zones... "rlol"

I'm still waiting on my NH Non-Res Pistol/Revolver License renewal. It expired 11/30, but I mailed in over a month in advance, they cashed my check 12/4... :???:

There needs to be a gun friendly corridor to pass through NY state.
The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager

Time has come, after a little delay, we are headed out the door and on the road here in an hour.

Not looking forward having to lock up our guns in the safe in PA before we cross into commie NY :banghead:

I really hope that Trump will do something to allow law abiding citizens to travel through a State like NY without having to go through the process of being disarmed, or having to leave their beloved G23 with 13rd mags at home.

Will listen in to the inauguration today as we drive. Bum is out of the office today!

:cheers2:

If you are still reading this as you travel my recommendation is stop in Pa, to eat and gas up. Then do not stop any where in NY. Especially do not spend the night. NY says you are no longer covered by the fed travelers law if you stop at a motel. They say you have reached a destination where you are not permitted to have a firearms!
I don't know what route you are taking but I went via Binghamton, Albany, then took the twisty back roads to Bennington, Vt. You might be just as well taking I-84 across to Ct then north. But that means crossing Ma. on I-91 also.

Little heads up. For anyone carrying a firearm and going across I-84 don't get off the first exit in NY after crossing the bridge from Pa. When you get off the ramp you will be in NJ! The state line runs adjacent to the highway. Last time I was there were no signs letting you know. I didn't realize it til I read the NJ weights and measures tag on the pump

Justsomeold,
You can fly commercial if you lock your firearm in the suitcase unloaded, and declare it. However, if you have a layover,
do not, repeat, do not pick up your bags. Put some overnight stuff in a carry on. Especially, in New York, the airlines will
tell the police that you picked up your luggage with a firearm in it. Guess what?
If you can, fly straight through. Evade the Gestapo states.

ScottDLS,
That applies to any state. your Permit to carry applies only to the locals. The feds will nail you on
the 1000 yard rule, which is federal, and ignorance of where the school is, is no excuse. If you get stopped
in that 1000 yards, chances are good that the locals will refer you to the Feds out of spite. There is no
wiggle room in that area.
My favourite carry state outside of Texas, Indiana. I would not buy a phone call in Illinois! Would not be there in the first place.

Except that many states offer non-resident permits which DO cover you for GFSZA. But Vermont doesn't even have RESIDENT permits since it is a permitless carry state. Therefore no Vermont residents, other than on-duty LEO may carry in school zones in Vermont. :rules:

Remember, the Feds would love to up their arrest rate and turn legal firearm owners into felons. Maybe President Trump
will do something about the BATF. Like appoint a new director with some smarts. I am a law abiding person, but the
BATF really scares the crap out of me, even if I have done nothing wrong.
