i used to take greyhounds on a regular basis from NYC to philly...no one is checked...and you have no idea what someone has on a bus.

Having buses be "gun free zones" w/o security screening would turn them into moving slaughter houses.

When I worked for them, Greyhound did have a no weapons policy. I never knew of anyone who tried to enforce it unless a passenger specifically asked about it though.

The "gun free zone" didn't have anything to with it. Not stopping every passenger and taking their hunting knives and guns might have, but just having a law on the books obviously did absolutely nothing.

Saying a person cannot have a knife or gun on the bus will not stop people who have ill intent. As always, only law abiders would adhere to such stupid policy. forbidding guns on a bus by law/policy would make it gun-free, right?

i would never board a bus filled with people i dont know in such close quarters and not be armed.

Title 18, Part 1, Chapter 44, Section 922, Part "e" states;
(e) It shall be unlawful for any person knowingly to deliver or cause to be delivered to any common or contract carrier for transportation or shipment in interstate or foreign commerce, to persons other than licensed importers, licensed manufacturers, licensed dealers, or licensed collectors, any package or other container in which there is any firearm or ammunition without written notice to the carrier that such firearm or ammunition is being transported or shipped; except that any passenger who owns or legally possesses a firearm or ammunition being transported aboard any common or contract carrier for movement with the passenger in interstate or foreign commerce may deliver said firearm or ammunition into the custody of the pilot, captain, conductor or operator of such common or contract carrier for the duration of the trip without violating any of the provisions of this chapter. No common or contract carrier shall require or cause any label, tag, or other written notice to be placed on the outside of any package, luggage, or other container that such package, luggage, or other container contains a firearm.
I got that from the Cornell Law website.
Yes, the word "may" does appear. You "may" not want to be a test case either.

This was in Canada and they have VERY tight laws against guns, even the cops up there can not carry their service guns home. As for carry on a Greyhound in the states, would you want to risk it with a "a don't ask . . . don't tell" and hope/pray you don't have to use it? I think the rules are "NO!" Cuz if there are no guns, you are safe. . . . yea right!!!!!

It's private property...so I doubt NRA will do anything about it...not that I think they should.

Title 18, Part 1, Chapter 44, Section 922, Part "e" which is not private policy...right?
