Are you a recent transplant from up nawth?From the article, for those who didn't read it: "Travelers should be aware that some state and local governments treat this federal provision as an “affirmative defense” that may only be raised after an arrest." The whole reason I am asking for help is to avoid getting arrested and not having to deal with this. I know AZ, NM, and TX are gun-friendly but the individual LEO is my concern.
Southwestern LEOs have better things to do than find things to mess with people over. . .
The statement you quote is there due wholly in part to New York City and New Jersey.
