  • Provided Below Is Information for the Transportation of Firearms and Ammunition for Airline Travel
    Provided below is information for the transportation of firearms and ammunition for airline travel. AS STATED IN JULY 2008 Most airlines have provided a link to the specific web pages for Baggage Allowances, Carry-on Baggage information, Firearms and Ammunition, Restricted Articles and Specialty Items of which can include but is not limited to antlers, game meats and fishing equipment. The TSA website is truly the end all be all for airline travel regulations. Canadian and European transportation agencies have essentially the same regulations and generally defer some of their information to the TSA. Before starting any research for your flight it is imperative that you thoroughly look at the TSA website because they have the broadest amount of information and they are the supreme authority. When traveling internationally, here are three issues by most if not all of the airline carriers: 1) The airlines have stated that their policy for transporting firearms is the same for both domestic and international flights. 2) They advise that you call the airline desk at your departure airport to inform them that you are flying with a firearm and to get the most up-to-date information on procedures at that airport. 3) If you are transferring from one airline to another, it is imperative for you to call the second airline to check if they have any additional regulations, especially if your transfer is in an international airport. There may be additional permits or procedures to be processed prior to your arrival. 4) Certain temporary visitor permits are required if you are planning on staying overnight in an international location that is not your final destination.

  • Understanding the Sig Sauer MCX Assault Rifle Used in the Orlando Mass Shooting
    Understanding the Sig Sauer MCX Assault Rifle Used in the Orlando Mass Shooting Violence Policy Center June 2016 Violence Policy Center www.vpc.org The Sig Sauer MCX Assault Rifle Early in the morning of June 12, 2016, Omar Mateen, age 29, opened fire with a Sig Sauer MCX assault rifle at Pulse, a gay dance club in Orlando, Florida. Mateen killed 49 people and wounded 53 others. In addition to the Sig Sauer assault rifle, Mateen was also carrying a Glock semiautomatic pistol. The two weapons had been legally purchased earlier in the month from the St. Lucie Shooting Center in Port St. Lucie, Florida. Mateen was killed in a shootout when law enforcement stormed the building around 5:00 AM that morning. The massacre is the worst mass shooting in U.S. history.1 2 The MCX is a classic assault rifle and incorporates many of the characteristics that make this category of firearm so lethal and distinguish it from sporting rifles. The MCX uses detachable ammunition magazines and comes equipped with a 30-round magazine like those used in the Orlando mass shooting. The MCX is also designed with: a pistol grip; a folding, collapsible, or telescoping stock; and, a handguard. These characteristics enhance the gun’s lethality by making it easier to shoot, reload, and maneuver in closed spaces such as a dark nightclub. This backgrounder offers a brief overview of the Sig Sauer MCX assault rifle, key points about assault weapons, and a discussion about what makes assault weapons different from standard hunting and sporting firearms.
