Whoever replaces Jerome Powell as chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve in May knows one thing: If they don't do what President Donald Trump wants, they risk being criminally prosecuted. That was the unambiguous message in Powell's extraordinary statement yesterday, in which he vowed to continue to set monetary policy independently despite the federal grand jury subpoenas investigating his statements to Congress about alleged cost overruns in the renovation of the Fed's headquarters.

Truthfully, modern gun laws in some states make this not terribly surprising to me.

For instance, one time I drove through New York with a few guns in my car and when I looked up the laws and what to do to remain as legal as possible...holy cow.

In order to remain as legal as possible while driving through NY, I had to have all guns in locked cases in the trunk (back, my car doesn't have a trunk) and the ammo not in the trunk...err...back. But I can't have it separate because there is no distinct trunk and having the ammo in a separate compartment of the car was a legal requirement. There was also the issue of having several handguns and semi auto long guns, which are heavily regulated in New York, especially those scary black rifles.

Now, the storage in locked cases wasn't a big deal because I do that anyway. But having handguns and semi auto long guns in the car that aren't registered in NY with ammo technically in the same compartment of the vehicle could have been problematic for me even though NY technically has a pass through or drive through law on the books (it's legal to be in possession of "illegal" firearms if your destination isn't within the state of New York). All of the commentary/analysis I read regarding NY gun safety laws said that I would technically be fine if I got pulled over; however, there are numerous cases of people having guns confiscating and charges brought even though they were following the letter of the law. Most eventually got the charges dropped, but then they had the issues of paying lawyer fees, getting their property back from the state after the bogus charges are dropped and the potential lost time of being jailed initially when the bogus charges are filed, vehicle impoundment ect.

The only other option is to pay what would probably be hundreds of dollars for multiple firearms to have them shipped between FFLs, which, for a long weekend, isn't really worth the cost.

The ability to simply mail my property to the address I was going to would have made it all far far easier and less worrisome because one state has draconian anti-gun laws.
