One week before the conference! Time to put together your presentation and send it to me or Rick. So we can print out the copies and hand them to the participants. Make your transport reservations. You can get to Kansas City by train, too; there is regular communication to Chicago and other areas. * Eric Jacobsen joined us! * I reserved gun range; popular handguns and calibers are available. You can take your own gun if you like. An experienced instructor will be available for help.

Just don't bring anything like that: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsar_Cannon Although it formally complies with 2000 fps requirement, it gives you unfair advantage.

Laws vary with venue, but in some states, an unloaded handgun in the car would get me a mandatory 1-year jail term. I will bring my rifle in parts. The action will be secreted in an un-obvious niche, so that the rest of the gun would be useless if stolen. I'm more concerned about a third party getting hurt than I am about any loss.

I just checked both states on opencarry.org. Dirk

Subsequent pages have detailed info on individual states, but, yeah, coming from New Jersey, that's quite a few states you need to pass through. But I'm not a lawyer. It just seems kinda odd, since it's presumably possible to ship a firearm from state to state (usu. to an FFL, is what I hear), and I doubt your typical UPS driver has any particular license...

Assuming you mean for fun or practice, in all places I've lived, this has been forbidden by the city, rather than the state.

I grew up shooting guns in the yards, or the fields next to the house, or down the road, or wherever. Everybody knew it was different in the city. -- Eric Jacobsen Minister of Algorithms Abineau Communications http://www.abineau.com
