In a word.....yes, especially in New York City. At least they feel that way, and unfortunately I do not see that changing anytime soon.
What happened in NY to a fellow with legally checked firearm in baggage, TSA notified I heard that someone had a handgun that was just traveling through NY on an airline and had the TSA notification paperwork stating the unloaded gun was legally in his hold baggage and was arrested!!!
How can this be with the proper form filled and filed? Does NY trump all other laws?

What do you mean an internet myth is born? I just heard about it on a news show, do you know it is not true? I understood a lawyer on the show indicated the person would likely go to prison. I did not state that I knew it to be true, just asked if anyone knew. Would like to know if it is real, not just a blank statement with no sort of back up details.
The story is true (Mark Meckler, tea party leader, arrested with gun - Tim Mak - POLITICO.com). The weapon was unloaded, in a locked case, and in his checked luggage. This puts NYS law against the Federal Firearms Owners Protection Act.

There is no "TSA Paperwork". You declare to the airline that you are carrying a firearm, I then take or watch my bag go to the TSA and I stick around in case they need inside of it, or to see inside the firearm case (never have).
The most you get from the airline is a tag you stick in the case holding the firearm, or sometimes I just put it in my suitcase if the airline didn't make me open up my gun case.
This seems to happen quite a bit! Oxnard man arrested on airport gun charge » Ventura County Star
Thanks for someone that actually knows about it instead of just making an un-founded statement about something being just an internet myth. That is the name that I remember being talked about on the myth radio program.
I think he was legal in Cali. where he was from, but not legal in NYS. I believe the law is, if you are passing thru to another state that you are legal to carry, from a state that you are legal to carry. You are ok to pass thru. His final stop was NY. He was not lisenced to carry or posess in NY. That is where he went astray of the law.http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/16/ny...-guardia.html#
It seems strange that he was not possessing in NY, that is unless he unpacked in NY and actually had hands on in that state. I can not remember if he just landed in NY on the way to somewhere else. Either way, it is something for all of us to take heed of. Laws are crazy enough in Kalifornia here, but to let one's guard down and get caught up in something like this....well, is just like the possibility we have here with transporting guns. TSA ruined my suitcase leaving from San Diego a couple of months ago, inspecting due to my TSA paperwork stating handgun inside. Still have not heard from my claim.
The way I remember the story was he was stopping in NY on a layover, but missed his connecting flight to his final destination. He ended up having to stay in NYC. When he took possession of his firearm there, he was arrested This is just off the top of my head and could be completely wrong, but its all I can remember.
