Carrying on a Train

Get a first class roomette, so they don't treat you like cattle.

They only had business class on this train, which we did have. It was pretty decent.

 

[Mygrainman]

Hahahahaha. I do have one of those NAA .22 short revolvers.

What about a taurus PT22

I just may have one of those, as well

I know that you are now allowed to bring archery equipment on as checked baggage but am unsure about carrying a firearm. You could always carry a crosbow pistol!

Carrying on, on a train would be a fun thing.
With the right woman, of course.

Concealed means concealed. I have a buddy that had no problems on Amtrak, Salem to Portland and back. Last Thanksgiving.

Eh, one more reason to drive vs use mass transportation.

Yep. I'm sure Al Quaida is well aware of the lack of armed citizens on board as well. I would rather walk.

How about Snakes on a Train?

BOLT Bus?

AMTRAK says it's against their rules to carry onboard so what's the problem? It's their train, their rules, just like the airlines. No diff. Pack it in luggage or leave it home or break the law and take a small risk.

You got a Washington Permit?

Certainly

How long in Seattle? Can you mail it to yourself there overnight? Last time I checked crossing state lines on a ferry, boat or train was a federal crime. You are more likely to be hemmed up by the JBT's than being in an altercation. Most altercations would be solved by pepper spray, even then, so carry a big can of pepper spray and a blade. You won't be completely unarmed.

I personally wouldn't risk it, but find another way to bring the tool along.

Certainly

Even if you didn't, open carry is legal here, and there are exemptions for CCW without a permit anyway.

LOL!! Go for it - open carry on an AMTRAK train. That's a foolish move for sure in any state; even Texas.

 

[RailwayMan]

I have taken the Amtrack from Salem to portland a few times and there was no metal detector or anything like that. I did see though in Portland they had dogs sniffing all the luggage.

Sniffing for explosives .... and maybe pot being smuggled out of State?

 

[Deavis]

Underway trains are ripe for active shooter/terrorism. Confined unarmed people with no where to go, and rules that make them victims.

But, I'm sure it won't happen here.

Gotta love the Hoss. I have a different opinion on the expense though. But I might consider it for my elderly mom to come up. Free advertising?

 

[Connor Murphy]

Good to know. They can sniff me all they want

You should get out more.
