I'm planning a trip back to Ohio, I'll be driving there, but returning home via the train. Being an Open carrier, as well as a Concealed Carrier, I thought I would look at the rules regarding firearms on Amtrak. Now, if I'm not mistaken, somewhere on this site I think I saw someone discussing carry on the train. Also, if I'm not mistaken, it was said that, you can carry on an Amtrak train. If you were the one who mentioned this, please reply. Because I happened to find this little Gem in their page.

All travel on, and transactions with, Amtrak is governed by the laws of the District of Columbia, United States of America, without regards to its principles of conflicts of law. You agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any Federal court located in the District of Columbia, United States of America, and waive any jurisdictional, venue or inconvenient forum objections to such courts.
Now, from what I read today in the DC forum, carrying isn't allowed outside the home. If the laws of DC are what Amtrak follows, that means carry on the train isn't allowable. I'm going to post this and go back to DC's forum, and investigate Law, and edit this post as necessary..... BRB!
Ok, I just refreshed my brain in the DC forum, and everything there that I read said NO CARRY. Unless of course, you're a criminal, then it's OK.... Off to the Law Library Forum to see if I can decipher this little puzzler...
I didn't see any relevant threads in the Law Library Forum either. So, somebody help me out here, since I didn't find any links to DC's Ordinances/Codes/Statutes, whatever they prefer to call them..
