HAVE GUN, CAN'T TRAVEL

A crazy quilt of laws could land you in jail if, for instance, you are flying from one place to another and your plane lands in a New York City airport and there's a firearm stowed in your luggage. In New Jersey, the law states that when a person is transporting a handgun, "the course of travel shall include only such deviations as are reasonably necessary under the circumstances." So, if you take a side trip to get lunch after shooting at a range, you can end up in one of the Garden State's many fine correctional institutions. Here's another: A Clark County, Nevada, ordinance makes bringing a concealable firearm into the county illegal unless it is first registered with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department regardless if the possessor has a permit to carry from another state, or even from elsewhere in Nevada. Why it's dumb

To comply with the Clark County law, you first have to somehow smuggle your gun it into the city to get it resigstered. Obviously, this requirement has been very effective in reducing gun-related crimes in Las Vegas because criminals wouldn't want to risk arrest by being in possession of an unregistered gun.
