A step forward, but I'd like to be able to carry concealed on AmTrak...though crossing state lines could make that problematic...have to make sure my Texas CHL is valid in all the states I'd enter on my trip, I guess.

Better yet, lets have a standardized national CCL card.

"Once this takes effect," said Daniel Vice, senior attorney for the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, "you would be able to check, for example, a dozen AK-47s onto an Amtrak train -- and once they're on there, the baggage car's not secure like a cargo hold of an airplane."

I guess you can just toss your glock in the lost & found box with the unclaimed umbrellas. Where do they come up with this stuff?

Fantastic...

Next time I travel back home, I planned to take the AMTRAK, as it was 1/2 the cost of a plane ticket, and I have never taken a train in America. I now can take a couple of firearms along, and shoot with my friends. Sure, it takes a couple of hours longer than if I drove it, but I get to see more along the way.

Thank you National Rifle Association, and the Membership, for championing this and any Congressmen who supported it.


I have taken trains in the Netherlands and the Thales fast train (187 mph) from Paris to Amsterdam, but never in America.
