Guns to Be Allowed on Most Amtrak Trains

Guns to Be Allowed on Most Amtrak Trains — Firearms control used to be the one area of public safety where trains were stricter than airplanes. Not anymore. Starting December 15, Amtrak passengers will be allowed to bring unloaded handguns on trains with checked baggage service, the Sacramento Bee reports. Passengers must give Amtrak 24 hours notice, and pack their unloaded firearms in hard-sided containers before storing them in a locked baggage hold.
