Yeah - it is just getting pretty messy
Reviewing DHL - they will NOT ship complete firearms, however, they also have a RESTRICTED list which incudes "firearms parts"
So my reading would be that shipping the slide and receiver separately amounts to "firearm parts" and that is restricted under...
I would love to have the time, money and effort to fight some of this stuff - may not get far, but it would be worth the fight
Maybe the upcoming SCOTUS decision on NYC carry will help with this....................but no doubt that will be appealed and then NYC will try to put a million...
If you look at the posts above, the specific wording on the LaGaurdia website states clearly.................
"State gun laws vary considerably. Before possessing and carrying firearms into New York please be aware of local New York City gun control laws. Please check with New York City Police...
To me this gets into dangerous and unknown territory and would leave me really concerned
I would be concerned that I would be perceived to be trying to circumvent the process, or that I would end up only receiving half a gun
This is all pretty crazy really
I think my only solution is to...
And looking at the UPS website, I cant see how it works with them either;
https://www.ups.com/us/en/support/shipping-support/shipping-special-care-regulated-items/prohibited-items/firearms.page?loc=en_US
UPS accepts packages containing firearms (as defined by Title 18, Chapter 44, and Title...
In fact - quick update
I have just found a FEDEX Hub 1.1 miles from my current address and they deal with "dangerous Goods shipping"
So going to go along and ask then for their process and see what they say - will update once I get the info
Ok - just back from FEDEX...................that is...
Totally agree guys - I will not be taking the handgun anywhere near the NYC airports
I usually fly out of Westchester, but this time the flight time and price did not fit, so booked LaGuardia instead
I think I will just wait and purchase an additional hand gun in FL, rather than risk any...
Ah - good point
Will try to go tomorrow to UPS/USPS/FEDEX and try to figure out who ships from me in NY to me in Florida…………without the ATF coming through my front door :oops:
yeah, I though someone was suggesting I could send it from myself to myself in FL??
I could not see any other shippers who offered that option……..even though the ATF seems to allow it??
This is interesting, because from what I can see, USPS, UPS AND FEDEX don’t appear to allow it, unless I missed it somewhere
I appreciate the ATF says yes, but I cant see where those 3 shippers allow it?
Totally agree - not going to do it - I though that but just wanted to make sure I wasnt missing something in my interpretation!!
The plan is leaving the gun in FL, so it will not be coming back with me - it will remain in my FL home
Ok - shipping from myself to myself in FL doesnt appear to be...
Yeah, that is what I thought since LaGuardia is classed as NYC
Several other forums I read said there should be no issue - but I honestly, dont see how that is possible based on the wording on the airport site
Just not worth the risk or the hassle to be honest
Crazy, totally crazy!
I need to...
I had a search on here, but couldn't see a specific on this question
On Thursday, I am heading to Sarasota, FL from LaGuardia
I have a CCW for FL and a permit for NYS (NOT a NYC permit - not rich enough to pay for that!)
I have had a look on the LaGuardia website and this is what I can find...
I know it should not influence their decision, but I am genuinely worried about everything going on right now with the gun grab initiatives that any decision could actually be influenced...................I know it should not, but...................
I agree entirely
The security should have several aspects - alarm systems, secure doors, bullet proof glass, armed personnel, tazers in the classroom, guards, whatever we can do to protect the children
Again, thinking of security in banks, etc.....................this on the classroom door as...
yeah - OK
And PARENTS do not actually want the teachers to be armed either
https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/survey-finds-wide-opposition-among-parents-to-arming-teachers/2018/07/16/03674e34-8927-11e8-8aea-86e88ae760d8_story.html
So the teachers dont want to be armed and the...
And I know plenty of teachers who do not want to be armed
And according to a survey of 3000 teachers in 2019 (following the Parkland shooting), 95.3% of teachers believe they SHOULD NOT BE CARRYING A GUN IN THE CLASSROOM...
They probably want neither
They may however prefer the ability to fully secure the door internally and remain in class
There is no way the average teacher wants to be armed and be held responsible for engaging an active shooter
How many active shootings do you see at say…….
banks
Tax office...
”hardened entrance, armed security, bullet proof glass - whatever”
None of that will help?
NONE?
But arm the English teacher, the woodwork teacher who will need regular, repeated training and support and is expected to strap a gun to their hip in class in front of 8/9 year old kids and then...
Now up to 18 kids and 2 adults dead
Also just confirmed that $100m is left in the budget that was issued to schools for COVID - unused
This money needs to be allocated to school
Security - hardened entrance, armed security, bullet proof glass - whatever
But that spare $100m already allocated...
Agreed - guy coming at you with a knife and you are armed, and you stand there looking at him..................defeats the purpose of concealed carry entirely
Both were real lucky - guy was lucky he never got stabbed while his wife filmed
And other guy was lucky he did not get shot
Crazy!
Not sure I agree with that
The country WAS NOT IN THIS STATE pre Biden
There were issues, like any country, but we were not in this mess, most of which has been a deliberate action and decision by the Democrats
I do agree, that whoever you vote for, the Government always win - but this...
I just cannot see how the Democrats will allow the mid terms to happen - based on where we are, it will destroy their hold on the country
I have never really been a believer that this country could literally turn into a martial law scenario, but as things get worse and worse each day, there...
Never
However, come November, if the Democrats actually won more seats in the House and Senate, I could see that trigger a more…………robust response from some areas
I know for 100% certainty that he had it in his safe when the FBI raided his offices - the FBI REFUSED TO TAKE IT, DESPITE TAKING EVERY OTHER LAPTOP, CELL PHONE AND IPAD
There was nothing preventing him sending multiple copies to news stations, radio stations or the AG at the time who was...
I don’t suppose Giuliani explained why he had Hunter Bidens laptop/ full copy of his hard drive in his safe for the last c. 18 months and did nothing with it :mad:
In the UK they already use “average speed enforcement“ cameras
They clock you as you enter the highway and again when you exit
From that they calculate your average speed and do actually issue tickets in the Mail if you are over the limit
So they don’t even need you cellphone data...
So Roe v Wade is being overturned it appears
but maybe an even bigger issue is that this info was not being released for c.2 months
However, it has been “leaked” from the Supreme Court
This has massive implications for every SC decision going forward and no doubt a huge investigation will...
Generally, most babies are good I would say
And I NEVER said everyone is good
I said everyone is good till they are not……….clearly there are a lot of bad people………and based on some points in this thread, the worst kind ( biggest threat to the USA :banghead:), are cops!
I work in Manhattan but have not been there at all since 3/2020 due to COVID
However, looks like my employer will be forcing us back in the next few weeks - I AM NOT LOKING FORWARD TO THAT IN ANY WAY

No doubt - white supremacists attacked a lonely black guy on the subway who had to defend himself and ran for fear of his life
He is currently speaking with Jussie Smollett to decide his next steps
