Typo in Federal law mandates locking train passengers in boxes

By Jim Irvine

Fox News is reporting that the bill intending to allow passengers to check guns on Amtrak has a typo in it requiring not just the gun, but the passenger to be “locked in boxes for their journey.”

While this seems funny, we must remember little mistakes in Ohio’s first concealed carry law that made it illegal to for someone to legally transport a handgun in a car without a concealed carry license. It was years and at least one person convicted of a felony before the legislature fixed the problem. Hopefully Congress will act a little quicker.
