Hey folk's,
What can i say, this might be interesting
Im coming to the USA this Friday for a little work related activity and for some vacation time afterward's and I’m bringing my sidearm.
Anyway first off, Im a corrections officer from Ireland & Im travelling to the US to attend the OLETC mock riots and some of the seminars, (a law enforcement thing in WV)
I have received permission from the ATF, "Form 6" for the temporary importation of a firearm and it has a permit number on it.
I have to fly into JFK, and clear customs before making my connection flight, from what I understand it’s real easy to fly into JFK with a firearm in your check bag, but getting back out of JFK is supposed to be a lot more difficult.
So if anyone knows the procedure for transiting through JFK and checking in for my next flight, without getting arrested, I’d love to hear from you.
I have tried to get a straight answer from the JFK Airport authority, the Port Authority Police and U.S Custom's, and a few other organisations, and none, NONE of them seem to know, all they can tell me is handguns are prohibited without a state permit.
So if anyone knows what the facts are or knows where I can actually get an honest answer I'd love to know....
Thank's
