I know there is no federal law that prohibits interstate travel with a
firearm but the individual states ... and some cities (like NYC) have
some very rigid and often confusing regulations. To the best I can
determine, I cannot legally travel from MA to SC or FL without being
in violation in at least in some states. I am sure it is done, but
at the risk of being arrested in the event you happen to be caught by
a unreasonable cop. Some types of RV's fall into another category,
meaning a "house" but some are not. Local and state laws and
regulations are confusing and conflicting.

I think the Senate made a huge mistake in not passing the universal
background check bill. As gun owners we need to demonstrate a
willingness to have some common sense regulations, especially when
they don't have any impact on responsible, law abiding citizens.

I bought my .45 this morning as mentioned in another thread. I completed the ATF Form 4473, and an
employee used the eform ( http://www.atf.gov/applications/e4473/faq.html ) to get the background
check results. Took about five minutes.

If the bill that failed in the Senate had been limited to what I went through, I'd say go for it.
But, the Senate bill, in my opinion, was far to onerous with its requirements for individuals
transferring a weapon. I shouldn't have to wait for some kind of approval process or anything else
to sell or give a weapon to my brother, for example.

Even if someone's brother is a violent criminal and wife beater?

Whose brother?

Salmonbait

Why would it matter?
