Hope those traveling take notice.

The moment you land in DC with a firearm you are in violation of law anyway. DC has the most stringent firearms laws, even possession of bullets or dud ammo is illegal and people have been convicted of being in possession of it.

I always thought this was the case, yet people still fly through Dulles. Is this not an issue because Dulles is in Virginia and not DC?

Guessing this is short-lived but will have to watch since Dulles is the suggested route for me from the travel agent for July to namibia

The way I read it, only applies to Reagan and air carriers. I wonder if they'll cover the wheels coming in on charters.

Yes, have flown thru there as well with no issues.

There is going to be a big push for more gun control especially if we have any more incidents of the new favorite buzzword of the lamestream media, "insurrection".

Reagan is in VA too. Maybe it's more the distance (6 miles from DC for Reagan vs 26 for Dulles) and to do with the counties or something?
