Traveling by train with a firearm

[george223]

Is there a means to which you can store a firearm at your house over there, and not have the transportation issue at all?

Ya, once I get one of my firearms there, I could leave it in my brother's safe when I return to CA so I wouldn't have to transport it back and forth. The problem is, deciding which gun to leave behind. It would be like leaving a family member behind.

The only person I know that travels by train and likes it, is sleepy Joe.

You are a funny guy. Joe is one of the most inspirational presidents that ever existed. Think about it, you can tell your kids that even they can become president. If a demented old man who can't even finish a sentence without losing his place can become president, anybody can. So if the train is good enough for Joe, it's good enough for me.

When driving to CT from CA, you can't avoid going through NY state. NYC is a different matter, avoid at all costs. While traveling through the state, I believe that the federal FOPA protects you while traveling through any state as long as you follow the rules by keeping your firearm unloaded and inaccessible in a locked case. Not sure why it doesn't apply to NYC. I personally wouldn't be concerned traveling from Scranton, PA to CT on I-84.
