Re: FOPA transport protection in states of origin/destination - UNLIKELY [A Report]
I don't see the 921 definition of "interstate commerce" discussed in the report insofar as the text directly posted here, but I do see the question/discussion in the attached BATFE docs. As you note, the BATFE response is clear as mud, and doesn't really answer the question.
I am not a lawyer. Nothing I say or write is legal advice.

December 3rd I'll be asking this question at the NJ2AS monthly meeting to Evan Nappen. I will print out this sticky and let him review it and I will ask my questions as well, and bring back what ever information I can.
The answer to a fool is silence.

Re: FOPA transport protection in states of origin/destination - UNLIKELY [A Report]
here is a VERY simple question...
if FOPA ONLY applies to the states in between the origin and destination...
then it would be logical to assume that the ONLY time you could transport a handgun in the originating state (in this case NJ) is when within the exempted destinations..
in NJ that means range.. gun shop.. etc..
if that were in fact true.. and ANY other transport was a crime.. and FOPA does NOT cover you while traveling in your state of origin.. then why are people allowed to fly out of NJ with handguns ALL the time... because it would be irrelevant as to if you were going to PA.. FL.. or WV.. again that is assuming that it is assuming FOPA does not protect in the ALL the states traveled through..
now if of course it DOES protect.. then flying out of NJ with a gun makes perfect sense.. but you can't have it both ways.. it either protects or does not protect in the home state.. the destination would be moot..

Re: FOPA transport protection in states of origin/destination - UNLIKELY [A Report]
I have to wonder, if "place" really does mean "state a a whole," why didn't they just say that?
I don't see how "place" could possibly be construed to mean anything other than the common dictionary definition. Saying that "place" means "State" is like saying that "Dog" means "any mammalian quadruped" when passing a law that regulates transportation of "dogs."
