Syracuse Amtrak

[Gonzobird]

I am taking Amtrak dowstate on Friday. Leaving from Syracuse. Need to go empty a storage unit out for my parents so my return trip is a uhual.

Anyone ever travel with a firearm in Amtrak? Their site says the same as an airline. Locked box, in checked baggage.

Wonder if anyone ever traveled with thier EDC?

I travel Amtrak all the time. Nobody has ever checked me and I've never been wanded or went through a metal detector. I have boarded with a 12 pack though.

Last time I went Amtrak (Rhinecliff to Rochester and back) I didn't carry but there was nothing there to suggest that anyone would search your bags for anything. No wands, metal detectors, pat downs, etc. My suggestion is keep it on your person and keep it concealed. Shouldn't have any issues.

On the return trip there was a schizo chick walking up and down the aisles and going into the bathroom to smoke and having conversations with folks who weren't there. There were a few points where she started getting belligerent. Kind of wanted my pistol on me that that moment.
