Dutchess woman brings loaded gun to New York Stewart

I drive everywhere for this reason.

I am very happy for you, that you have the financial where-with-all as well as the inordinate amount of free time away from responsibility to permit you to spend days or weeks traveling to your destination.
Not everyone has this luxury, and we should not have to sign away our Rights to be able to "move about the Country".

Just to pose a question, what will you do when the .gov decides you are required to present travel authorization papers to go from State to State? Or when they erect border stations at each State border (conveniently managed by private companies) and you are told you cannot travel with your firearms?

You already have the same egregious infringements if you were to travel by train, a GOVERNMENT RUN organization.

As I've said before, and will continue to say, Rights are Rights. Whether it is the .gov or a private company, they should not be allowed to abridge your Rights without one HELL of a damned good reason, and scrutiny much tighter than "strict" needs to be applied to ensure the people aren't being infringed on.

You speak as if I agree with this policy. Your entire post is based off of that premise, so responding to any part of it will only serve to further solidify your belief.

That said, you’re wrong about private conveyances. You have no more right to bring ANYTHING onto a plane than you do to bring ANYTHING into my car, provided you manage to find the apparent luxuries of time and massive amounts of cash that you assume I enjoy.

Airlines are privately owned. They can ban whatever they want on their aircraft, regardless of the fact that functionally the ban probably comes from the government.

I drive everywhere for this reason. Flying is an immense tradeoff of rights, comfort, control, options, etc that I do not choose to subject myself to except when absolutely necessary.

TSA is NOT airline owned or a branch of the airline. If it wanted to, the airline could not ignore the TSA restriction legally.

This might be the first time I’ve had to quote myself on this forum.
