As when transporting guns on a commercial airline flight, gun owners should pack firearms unloaded and in a locked, hard-sided container. Ammunition should be stored in a manufacturer’s box or in “fiber, wood, or metal boxes … or in other packaging specifically designed to carry small amounts of ammunition.”
Amtrak Prepares For Guns In Checked Bags DEC 03, 2010 07:05P.M.
Unlike airlines, Amtrak also requires handgun cases to be stored inside a suitcase or other checked bag.
Amtrak Prepares For Guns In Checked Bags
Also unique to Amtrak is a requirement (forced by a last-minute change to the amendment) that travelers notify Amtrak of their intention to transport firearms, at least 24 hours before departure. Notification must be by phone (not online), and firearms must still be declared upon check-in. No matter how seemingly modest the change, and despite Amtrak’s unique restrictions, it’s still too much for anti-gun activists. In a story on ABCNews.com, Brady Center attorney Daniel Vice claimed, “the baggage car’s not secure like a cargo hold of an airplane.” Amtrak spokesman Steve Kulm rebutted the hysterical claim, noting that the rail service modified 142 baggage cars “to provide a secure, safe location for the firearms.”

Charlotte, NC --(Ammoland.com)- Railroad passengers on Amtrak should soon be able to once again transport firearms in checked baggage.
Amtrak Prepares For Guns In Checked Bags
The change is slated to begin on Dec. 15, the effective date of the amendment by Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., that forced Amtrak to accommodate gun owners. The new service will only be available between stations where checked baggage service is currently available.

hunt. That legal request came a week after Commissioner Martin issued a letter that also denied their stay request for a hunt that is scheduled for a seven-county region, including parts of Sussex, Warren, Hunterdon, Passaic, Morris, Somerset and Bergen counties.
Court Rules Against Anti’s Stay of Bear Season DEC 03, 2010 05:51P.M.
The bear population just in northwestern New Jersey has grown from 500 bears in 1992 to more than 3,400 bears today, and there are an uncounted number of bears that have now been encountered in all 21 New Jersey counties.
Court Rules Against Anti’s Stay of Bear Season
Although bear related complaints vary from year to year due to environmental factors, serious bear incidents have increased commensurate with the black bear population, up by 96 percent from 2006 through 2009, according to DEP wildlife officials. There have been 233 serious Category One encounters with aggressive black bears so far this year, an issue that requires action by the DEP to provide relief to residents in areas of the state with the densest bear population. Since the 1980s, New Jersey’s black bear population has been increasing and expanding southward and eastward from forested areas of northwestern New Jersey. There have been increased sightings of bears this year in many suburban towns and urban areas, where black bears have not been previously been encountered.
New Jersey Fish and Game Trenton, NJ --(Ammoland.com)- The NJ DEP has announced that a state Appellate Division Court today dismissed a legal challenge to the Comprehensive Black Bear Management Policy (CBBMP), clearing the way for a week-long bear hunt that will take place in Northwest New Jersey starting on Monday.
The Fish and Game Council in July adopted the CBBMP, which includes a black bear hunting season, to deal with an overpopulation of bears and problems they are causing. The Council cited increasing damage to personal property and threats to public safety as key reasons for its vote.
A two-judge panel rejected a request for an injunction made by the New Jersey Animal Protection League and the Bear Education and Resource Group to prevent the State’s first black bear hunt since 2005.
The black bear hunt is scheduled to run concurrent with the six-day firearm deer hunting season, December 6-11. It will be held in portions of a 1,000 square-mile area north of Route 78 and west of Route 287 in Morris, Sussex, Warren, Passaic, Hunterdon, Bergen and Somerset counties.
“The facts and science are clear,” said DEP Commissioner Bob Martin. “There are a growing number of black bears in New Jersey and a resultant increase in public complaints about bear and human encounters. This is clearly a public safety issue that requires responsible action by DEP and the Fish and Game Council.”
• To view the court’s decision visit: http://www.judiciary.state.nj.us/bearcase.pdf • To review the State’s Comprehensive Black Bear Management Policy, visit: http://www.nj.gov/dep/fgw/bearpolicy10.htm
“Hunting is the only proven and most cost-effective method of wildlife population control, one that is utilized successfully by other states,” said Commissioner Martin.
• To view specific rules and requirements for the black bear hunt, visit: http://www.state.nj.us/dep/fgw/bearseas10.htm
“But understand that hunting is just one facet of our comprehensive black bear policy which also includes many other important measures designed to deal with the black bear issue.”

The CBBMP includes a common sense mix of bear management tools, including public education, research, bear habitat analysis and protection, non-lethal bear management techniques and enhanced efforts to keep human food sources, especially household trash, away from bears to limit bear-human encounters.

Ohio Restaurant Carry Bill Needs Your Support
First: Call every member of the Ohio House Democratic leadership and urge them to work with Speaker Budish to send these bills to Governor Strickland.
DEC 03, 2010 05:36P.M. Ohio Restaurant Carry Bill Needs Your Support
Their names and numbers are listed here for your convenience: • Armond Budish, Speaker of the House – 614-644-5441 • Matt Szollosi, Speaker Pro Tempore – 614-466-1418 • Tracy Maxwell Heard, Majority Floor Leader – 614-466-8010 • Jay P. Goyal, Majority Whip – 614-466-5802
Ohioans For Concealed Carry
• Linda S. Bolon, Assistant Majority Whip – 614-466-8022
Campbell Ohio --(Ammoland.com)- I need your help on Monday, December 6th — but let me give you a little history on why I need your help.
Remind Ms. Bolon of her statements during the HB203 hearings when she told Ms. Goeser that her testimony was some of the most compelling she ever heard.
Over the past two years Ohioans For Concealed Carry has invested a substantial amount of blood, sweat, tears and money out of our treasury to see Restaurant Carry come to life.
When you reach their staff: Introduce yourself, tell them you’re a member and supporer of Ohioans For Concealed Carry, and state that you understand there is a limited opportunity for remaining sessions and that you want House Leadership to work with Speaker Budish to pass both SB239 and SB247.
We worked with Representatives of the Ohio House to introduce the first bill to make it lawful to possess a firearm in an Ruby Tuesdays or a Max & Erma’s so long as you were not consuming alcohol.
• SB239 resolves Restaurant Carry and makes changed to transporting a firearm in a vehicle.
Inevitably, Democrats in the Ohio House leadership stopped movement on Ohio House Bill 203 — and similar legislation was introduced in the Ohio Senate and passed.
• SB247 is a “rights restoration” bill that provides a means for restoring an individual right to bear arms.
We’ve covered the travels expenses of Ms. Nikki Goeser to come to the Ohio Legislature twice to testify before both the Ohio House, and the Ohio Senate when SB239 was introduced. Her testimony was referred to as “some of the most compelling ever heard” by then-chairwoman Bolon immediately following hearing her testimony.
Once you’ve made these phone calls, you need to call your elected representative. How do you find them? Go here: http://www.legislature.state.oh.us/ — on the right hand side of the page you can enter your zip code in and identify your elected Representative, who is representing you at least through the end of this calendar year.
You can find recordings of those hearings in the following video: Sadly, when the recent November election turned the Ohio House over to Republican control and when the Governor was not elected politics seemed to come to a standstill in the Ohio Legislature.
Call their office and tell them everything mentioned above — then, tell them that you want them to join Representative Bubp’s office in the effort to use a discharge petition to extract these bills from committee and send them directly to the House Floor, where they must be voted on by the entire Ohio House.
I personally anticipated the Ohio House to hold hearings on SB239 and SB247 following the election, but it inevitably seemed as if there would be no further sessions scheduled.
Finally, call Governor Ted Strickland’s office at (614) 466-3555 – and advise them that you want Governor Ted Strickland to do everything in his power to get the Ohio House to send these two bills to his desk.
That has changed – the Ohio House has scheduled sessions, but they HAVE NOT committed to do anything with these two vital bills that we have invested substantial time and money trying to enact them into law.
These are our last two chances of getting these bills to the desk of

Washington D.C. --(Ammoland.com)- Mask wearing animal rights activists should think twice before targeting private residences in the nation’s capital. A recently passed law by the D.C. City Council offers new protections for those on the receiving end of such protests.

On November 23, the Council passed the “Residential Tranquility Act of 2010.” The bill, sponsored by Councilwoman Mary Cheh, was developed due to constituent complaints involving the group called Defending Animal Rights Today and Tomorrow or DARTT.

U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance Columbus, OH --(Ammoland.com)- Earlier this week, the Bear Education and Resource Group and the Animal Protection League of New Jersey filed a lawsuit in two New Jersey Superior Courts seeking to shut down the state’s upcoming bear hunt.
Brought to you by - AMMOLAND.COM - Firearms & Shooting Sports News Ammo Land.com Submit Gun, Ammo and Shooting Related News at Ammo Land.com
The lawsuit alleges that the state’s bear management plan, which includes a hunt, was based on flawed science and that the state did not follow proper technical procedures when adopting the plan.

DEC 03, 2010 02:12P.M. Anti Conservation Groups Sue to Stop New Jersey Bear Hunt
“The New Jersey state agency has a long history of successful wildlife management when it is allowed to do its job.” This summer the DEP approved a bear hunt as part of the state’s overall bear management plan. The management plan, which includes both the hunt and non-lethal management tools, is meant to help control the state’s exploding black bear population. Bear hunting in New Jersey has been under fire since 2006 when the former DEP Commissioner Lisa Jackson canceled the state’s bear hunt. In response, the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance Foundation, along with the Safari Club International and the New Jersey State Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs, filed a lawsuit against the state to challenge the decision to stop the bear hunt. Despite two lower court rulings compelling the former Commissioner to proceed with the 2006 hunt, the state’s Supreme Court ultimately ruled the Commissioner could block the hunt.

Virgina - -(Ammoland.com)- The Obama administration is moving into high gear in putting gun-control advocates into important government positions.
claims about so-called “assault weapons.” He has supported banning .50-caliber rifles, regulations that would force many gun shows to close down, the Chicago handgun ban, and repealing the Tiahrt Amendment, which protects sensitive trace data from being misused in frivolous municipal lawsuits against gun makers. He also worked with the Joyce Foundation, which has funded gun-ban groups such as the Violence Policy Center, on the “Gun Violence Reduction Project.”
The administration’s nominee to head the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE), Andrew Traver, should be of particular concern. His attacks on the civilian use of so-called assault weapons raise real questions about his willingness to distort the truth for political purposes. The person nominated to be the nation’s top gun cop shouldn’t use inaccurate descriptions to scare people into supporting gun control. Mr. Traver is the special agent in charge of the BATFE’s Chicago field division. Therefore, he knows what was covered by the federal assaultweapons ban that sunset in 2004. But in November 2009, NBC interviewed Traver and reported: “Traver says the power and randomness of the heavy caliber, military-style weapons make them so dangerous not only to people, but to police. They’re so powerful, body armor can’t withstand a hit, and they’re so difficult to control, their bullets often get sprayed beyond the intended targets, striking innocent victims even when they’re in their own homes.”
John R. Lott’s More Guns Less Crime The list of problems with Mr. Traver’s claims is very long. If he really believes that these weapons fire unacceptably “heavy caliber” bullets, he is going to have to ban virtually all rifles. Small-game rifles — guns designed to kill squirrels and rabbits without destroying too much meat — typically fire .22-caliber bullets, which are only slightly smaller than the .223-caliber bullets fired by the M16 (used by the U.S. military since Vietnam) and the newer M4 carbine (used in the Afghanistan and Iraq wars). Deer-hunting rifles fire rounds that are very similar to those used by the AK-47.
The fact that Mr. Traver uses the same misleading claims as groups such as the Brady Campaign shouldn’t make it too surprising that gun-control groups are applauding his nomination. Nor is Traver’s nomination very surprising after President Obama appointed two strong anti-self-defense members to the Supreme Court. But Mr. Traver’s nomination is quite troubling. Making up claims about guns to demonize them is beyond what is acceptable for someone who wants a position in which he will be regulating American gun ownership.
Speaking of M16s, M4s, and AK-47s, Traver is correct when he states that the guns covered by the federal assault-weapons ban were “militarystyle weapons.” But he fails to note that this really just deals with style — the cosmetics of the guns, not how they actually operate. The guns covered by the ban were not the machine guns actually used by the military, but civilian, semi-automatic versions of those guns. The civilian version of the AK-47 may look like the guns used by militaries around the world, but it is different. It fires essentially the same bullets as deerhunting rifles at the same rapidity (one bullet per pull of the trigger), and does the same damage.

On penetrating body armor, Mr. Traver leaves out one important detail: Rifles in general are often able to penetrate body armor simply because their bullets travel faster than those fired from handguns. The same can be said for going through the walls of houses. But if he had said that deer-hunting rifles can often penetrate walls and lower-level types of body armor, it is unlikely that his comments would have generated the same fear.
