Current Laws on the Books - Things you must know

All Firearms owners are responsible for knowing and understanding current Firearm law. Recently there were several instances in New York City where two tourists attempted to check in their legally owned firearms upon entering a building that had a no weapons policy. They were promptly arrested as their home state permits for firearms were not recognized by New York City.

New York City has a mandatory jail sentence for anyone violating their handgun law. These otherwise lawful citizens failed to understand or take note of the New York City statutes.

Ignorance is no excuse in a court room and while those of us that embrace the 2nd amendment believe that right should be Nationally recogniized, we must also understand that unlike marraige licences and drivers licenses, Firearms permits do not translate over State borders unless their is documented reciprocity.

A great refernce for Federal Firearms Law is: Gun Laws of America, written by Alan Korwin. Consult the appropriate websites for your State, County and Local ordances many towns have provision for Firearms.

If you are planning to travel understand the Law of any jurisdiction that you will transit or visit, Know the Law, It is your responsibility.
