Traveling Man's Gun Arrest Appealed to Supreme Court

Missed flights only inconvenience most people. A late flight landed Utah gun owner Greg Revell in jail for 10 days after he got stranded in New Jersey with an unloaded firearm he had legally checked with his luggage in Salt Lake City.

This was the original case I was talking about at Newark Airport. If you are traveling through and your bags are checked through I do not think is is a problem. If you miss a connection then you have to get the police involved prior to touching your gun. Just trying to inform people and to be honest I am not sure it is still a problem but I know NJ has not gotten easier on gun owners.

BTW - Qatar canceled my flight for Sept. 29th to Namibia yesterday. Just rebooked with Ethiopian airways, but I am out of here.

Interesting, I flew SAA five times JFK to JNB in different years. Never had a problem with Port Authority Police or TSA there. Process changed a few times over the years but no issues aside from delays with long lines in customs on return (not forearm related). Of course its no longer relevant given the SAA situation.

I'll bet you that SAA flies next year.

Plus no suppressors on that route.
