Flying from Baltimore (BWI) airport

[Jhaydeno]

Take a wheelchair to the airport with you.

Yes, I'm being cute, that said, it would be legal and just as stupid as the laws themselves.

Or just buy ride on luggage. Suck it MD!!

Has anyone flown out of Newark lately with a declared handgun? Or is it still a no no ? And of course on the return flight back to Newark. Legal in Pa to Fl. But leaving out of Newark. What are the options to flying with it ? Can it be shipped to address in Fl? Can it be shipped or do you need to use a ffl ?

Unless you have an NJ carry license, NJ exemption, or Federal protection against NJ law (eg LEOSA), there is no legal way you can possess the handgun at the airport - FOPA cannot be invoked (see post #4). Shipping is also problematic because the tariffs of most, if not all, of the common shippers require FFL involvement.

If you start you trip from a Pa airport (eg ABE) with handgun in checked baggage you are good to connect through Newark provided the baggage remains under airline/airport control.

You are good as long as your connection does not get delayed, or your flight to Newark is late and you miss your connection, and you get stranded in Newark, and are told to collect your luggage, while other arrangements are made. But, yeh, that never happens.

Correct .. that is why I included the precondition "to connect through Newark provided the baggage remains under airline/airport control."

It is precisely the Revell case that culminated in the 3rd circuit appeal I cited in post #4.
