So I am taking a new fancy-pants bus service between Houston and Dallas soon for work. I am not aware of any reason why I couldn't carry on the bus. I suppose it could be posted, but I doubt that it is (and I'm not even sure you can post an automobile). I'm most concerned that there is some obscure federal law about taking a firearm on a common carrier.
Do I have your blessing?
Can you carry a firearm on a bus service?

DART allows it. Greyhound doesn't but from what I understand, its a corporate decision rather than a legal one.

Is it Megabus? However, not sure they fit your description of fancy-pants bus service.

Not a 30.06 notice, so it seems that legally you could carry. I suppose one could post a bus...I think the concept is "trespass to chattel", but I'd like to see it on a bus .mojo84 wrote:Is it Megabus? However, not sure they fit your description of fancy-pants bus service.
