AR Rifles..

I also read the same things... then I read about people who are in jail because they didn't have their i's dotted when in some of those states.
I do agree that the laws should be equal nationwide. In a perfect world that's the way it would be. Unfortunately we're stuck with the world that we've got.

Case in point; my brother lives out west, has had a CC permit for over 20 years and was some type of Sheriff's reserve out in AZ. Somebody raised a complaint against him for whatever reason and he spent a night in jail. Eventually the charges were dropped, according to my brother because the complaintant's parents wouldn't lie for him. He came back to Maine when my father got sick, carrying his 9mm. After a few months he drove back. It wasn't until he tried to renew his CC permit that he discovered that-although the charges had been dropped- he still wasn't supposed to possess firearms. It took a few months and even more lawyer fees to get that straightened out, and despite the fact that the charges were dropped- and the complaintant is recorded on the 911 tapes threatening to kill my brother- the best that he can get from the DA is a letter saying that "we choose not to press charges at this time." Although we are innocent until proven guilty, because he didn't get a chance to defend himself in a court of law, the justice system considers him a risk.

That is something that calls for an expungement. Basically you sue the jurisdiction that arrested him and the state to have the arrest and record of it removed legally by court order. It Might not be cheap but it’s something he should have already done.

Good luck with out of state moose tag.. The only reason we have the governor we have is because most of the population is in southern Maine, it may as well be Mass as far I'm concerned, to bad when they decided to break the part of Maine off that was Mass they didn't come up a little higher with the line and take Potland to Mass with them..

You sound EXACTLY like my father in law with his home state of Vermont when they built the interstate LOL

There are laws meant to allow you to travel directly through anti states. I can cite a few, but you would do better to listen to somebody with a law degree... preferably who will stand behind their advice.

Interstate transportation of firearms...

"Notwithstanding any other provision of any law or any rule or regulation of a State or any political subdivision thereof, any person who is not otherwise prohibited by this chapter from transporting, shipping, or receiving a firearm shall be entitled to transport a firearm for any lawful purpose from any place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm to any other place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm if, during such transportation the firearm is unloaded, and neither the firearm nor any ammunition being transported is readily accessible or is directly accessible from the passenger compartment of such transporting vehicle: Provided, That in the case of a vehicle without a compartment separate from the driverç—´ compartment the firearm or ammunition shall be contained in a locked container other than the glove compartment or console."

The reality is when I used to drive up to Vermont to visit my wifes family, I gave up carrying on the drive.

My only advice is DO NOT STOP in a **** state (while driving) when it comes to firearm laws even though it may be legal to do so. Way too dangerous because genearlly the cops in general have less legal knowlegethan you do, and it will only get sorted out AFTER your taken in.

The reality is when I used to drive up to Vermont to visit my wifes family, I gave up carrying on the drive. Would always genearlly have to stop somewhere to get gas in New York or Mass (or that 10 minute stretch in Jersey). Driving up to Pa from NC, I'll deal with Maryland for the 15 minute drive or so by locking everything up in WV going north or Pa going south.

You'd be amazed at the amount of people arrested in Jersey from out of state with guns in their cars. Way I see it, out of state plate only makes you a bigger target.

If you read my more recent comments you will note that I am arguing the same thing. The first year that I worked in NY I had my BP rifle under the back seat, if I'd had the time I planned to do a little deer hunting. I don't know what he laws are about those, but cringe now when I think about it.

I don't know the exact details, and of course have only heard one side of the story. Yet that's something we shouldn't need to worry about; we are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty.

The worst part is that they have his accuser on the 911 tape-drunk- threatening to kill my brother. Yet apparently there's nothing wrong with that.

Below is from a anti gun website. The "higher the grade", the more anti gun laws the state has.



It's pretty apparent that in the North East, other than Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, everyone is pretty much screwed other than Pennsylvania.

I would drive out to Montana or Idaho with guns in my truck from Pennsylvania and not worry about it as long as I was following the law. If I were hunting again, I would not drive to Maine from NC with a rifle in the truck, I'd probably fly with the gun if I wanted to go that bad.

One of my best buddy's sent me that yesterday. He converted me 12 years ago from a gun control idiot to an avid and responsible gun owner. Everyone needs a friend like that .

I can think of many folks who NEED a "buddy" like yours!

Have a nice 'in' on the draw tag. My Mainer buddy is also on the draw with us.

You are certainly free not to avail yourself of the legal remedy for your problem and continue to confront the problem head on each time it arises.

We really need a nationwide reciprocity law.
