CT drive thru (ny permit)

[Sargepug]

Morning All,

So today I have to drive to Stamford for son's winter lacrosse league. What are the drive thru and stopping to get out laws? I checked the USCCA site, but would rather leave it up to the guru's here for the latest. This is the latest per USCCA, but it's only as of Oct 1..... It's what I thought, but the laws are so dam fluid in our rotten blue tri-state area...SMH

What is your question?

 

[kev74]

No bueno without a CT permit.

Also no bueno if the game is at a school or state park.

sry. must have mistakenly edited it out. lol
Driving through and stopping to get out law.

 

[thughes]

Federal law covers you if you are driving through an unfriendly state starting from a state you're legal in, with a destination of another state you're legal in. (just don't stop longer that it takes to gas up or take a piss!)

If you're headed to CT and plan in stopping, you'll be a felon if you're carrying on a NY permit.

Pardon me for sounding snarky (I'm actually just curious), but it sounds as you're a relatively new permit holder.....do they not teach this stuff in that mandatory 16 hours training you're forced to take?

 

[Steal2B]

It would have been relatively easy (if you hold a NY carry permit) to get a CT non-resident. Don't carry in CT until you get a non-resident permit. After you get the permit, be sure to bring back plenty of ammo.

 

[Sargepug]

Not looking to carry on person out of car, just have it with me in the car from NY, but will have to stop for an hour or so in Stamford. So i'd assume it's legal, if I keep in locked in the trunk for my duration in CT?
For Thungs, my 16 hour course was over a year ago, so who the hell can remember everything from that. I can't remember what I ate last night! lol

Great advice. You are close to CT. Call CT state troopers and request non-res permit package.

 

[GOYABEAN]

C'mon man gun laws are bad Mmm ok

Already have called and waiting to obtain, was a state office though not troopers. Jersey wise, you need to go to a troop station in person.

Yep, already in the works. Not looking to carry today in CT, trying to nail down the dive into and stop for hour or so, law. I'm assuming from what I read on the site i posted above, it's to be locked in trunk entire time in and out of border.

 

[tirwin1]

Just remember any legal advice you get on the Internet is worth exactly what you paid for it.

 

[Sargepug]

Agreed! I asked my friend, who’s a US Marshall. I’m gonna go with his recommendation that if you’re not certain leave it home

Correction to above, you are correct on contacting the staties, but have to email per this link. Not allowed to call in. I emailed last week or so and just did again, they will oviously sit on it for a long as possible. Another rotten blue state....

If you are talking about either Dave or Ralph from the nearby Northern or Southern Districts, they both know what you were proposing could get your ass in the wringer for either carrying or leaving a hand gun in your car while not having a CT permit and relying on a sea-lawyer interpretation of the Federal travel provisions.

Full disclosure: Very similar questions were discussed with an attorney and a sitting US Federal Marshall about a brief stop in CT or MD. It is a no go. Most of the discussion, however, involved an expectation to disarm and secure if one did not have a CT permit when travling Route 684 through the brief milage that passes through Greenwich swamp area with no CT exits. (There was no concensus but all agreed it would be unreasonable and outlandish for a charge to be considered on 684 in CT)

Neither of them, but left it at home and sent another email to the staties for a non-resident app....

If you're planning on doing your NJ non res CCW it's a pain in the dick. I'm waiting to get my FID card so I can proceed with the application in person after I get my CCARE course certificate.

I'm also waiting on my CT non res CCW to process but I heard that can take over six months to process.

I have no doubt I will eventually get them. These libtard states are being petty because their dicks got crushed by the Breun case so they are just making it excruciating and difficult on purpose.

To clear things up for you @Sargepug Not worth finding out. If you MUST have your pistol with you, if you must stop, then at least lock it up in a gun box, trigger locked with the ammo kept separately and the gun out of reach, preferably in the trunk. Stopping for your son's lacrosse game isn't considered a short stay so that would be an issue, but you can always opt roll the dice on that.

Firearms Owners Protection Act of 1986 aka “The Peaceable Journey Law”
This act allows a person to transport a firearm through states in which he or she does not hold a valid permit, as long as he or she may lawfully carry (whether by permit, constitutional carry, etc.) in the state of origin as well as the destination. The owner of the firearm must be in transit and not stay in the state where possession would be illegal. Furthermore, the firearm must be unloaded and contained in a locked box or out of the driver’s reach, unless state law allows otherwise. It is recommended that ammunition be in a separate, preferably locked container. In some states, the drivers must pass through the state without stopping, and in others only short stops are tolerated. Consult the USCCA’s Concealed Carry Reciprocity and Gun Law Map to determine what laws apply to you for every state along your route.

The act does not allow the owner to use his or her firearm for defense during transit.

Fed Interstate 18 USC § 926A — Vehicle carry unloaded and secured
These sections of the code were intended to protect the passage of travelers (who can legally possess a firearm) to transport a firearm for any lawful purpose from any place where he or she may lawfully possess and carry such firearm to any other place where he or she may lawfully possess and carry such firearm. The firearm must be unloaded, and neither the firearm nor any ammunition can be readily accessible from the passenger compartment. In the case of a vehicle without a compartment separate from the driver’s compartment, the firearm or ammunition shall be contained in a locked container other than the glove compartment or console. It is recommended that ammunition be in a separate, preferably locked container.

Was shocked that I received a quick response today from the CT Staties! Sent another request for the application form, w/ a high priority tag on the email. By early evening, they asked for my home addy to mail the paperwork.
Jersey wise, here's the addy to request same. FirearmsInvestUnit@njsp.gov

God damn threads like this remind me why I left the north east.

That's not why you left, and you know it. You didn't like the weather. Just like Andrew Cuomo told everybody.

Oh, and because you need more than ten bullets to kill a deeah.

I know this topic has been here for a while and you may have already made the trip, but let me answer as well. You have no coverage from FOPA if you go somewhere in a state in which you are unlicensed, go to an event, and return home. In CT that's a crime.

Get the license. If you live in NY, the CT license gives you some nice options, including taking the ferry to LI if you ever need to go there.

I have had CT for over 30 years and I enjoy the choice of driving routes it provides.

Not sure how all the misinformation is out there about CT. It is easy, just call the STATE POLICE and they mail you a packet. You'll get it within a week. Send all the papers back and proper and by law they have 90 days to process you, deny or approve! That's it! The CCW also allows you to purchase ammo in CT.

Otherwise yes, Federal Law applies if travel THRU CT. You stop and do anything other than lodging or feed yourself and you are no longer traveling ... Be smart! That's all...

Have fun and good luck!

Quick question for you as you’ve obviously obtained your CT CCW. I have my application package and I see they require some kind of training or some documentation of training? Not sure what to do here. I’ve not had any “real “ training except for the small course I took to get my original NY state CCW and the course to have my restrictions removed as well as a few private lessons about 8 years ago with no documentation of anything except my actual NY state CCW. I’ve called the location where I’ve taken a couple private lessons but they have no record of it . Do you know what exactly they are looking for? Hate to go take some class just for this . Thanks in advance

A week?! I've been trying to get it for months via email. They responded relatively quickly and asked for my address and then crickets. after I sent it multiple times after. SMH

I took a class at Hudson Valley Shooting Sports and had my permit in about a month. Got a Florida permit at the same time. Give them a call.

No dice, the phone number only provides you with the email address. They responded once to my initial request and asked for my addy, then as of this am, sent 4 times since Dec. Rotten blue state!

I emailed them and had the application packet the same week. Now I’m just trying to figure out what class I have to take or if they accept other training courses I’ve taken. If I have to go take a $300 course somewhere I won’t do it. I’m at the end of my “pay to exercise a fucking right” funds.

LMK, what you come up with and I hear you! I finally shook it lose today, I joked and said 4th time a charm?! They then emailed me back within and hour, confirming it's going out.
