Senate votes to allow firearms in baggage on Amtrak

[seamusTX]

The Amtrak appropriations bill was amended to force Amtrak to allow passengers to carry firearms in checked baggage, on terms similar to those in effect for airlines.

The measure passed by a 68-30 vote.

It must still be reconciled with the House version of the bill.

After September 11, 2001, Amtrak restricted items that passengers could carry in checked baggage.

Thanks Jim,
Items posted in this subforum take on a different context than when posted here. I believe any gun related bill should be posted in this subforum. even if it is being discussed elsewhere.
