They aren't the most direct, but some visit family on road trips, and others divert to avoid construction, crazy speed traps like all through VA, see sights, etc.<br /><br />2: Would I or my friends do this? Probably not--we keep up with the laws because we're pretty politically active. Some folks know the law at home, don't look at the laws elsewhere, and assume that the laws are the same. Dangerous? Yes--to them, not others. Unfortunate? Very.<br /><br />When I drove to New York, I had to take a keychain off because it had a bullet on it. Not a cartridge--just the lead bullet with its copper jacket. I don't have the permits required, in NJ, to possess any ammunition components there. I had to hope that all of the cleaning I did in my car managed to find and vacuum up every piece of brass that was in there, or I would have been in violation for those too.<br /><br />It's pretty sad when the laws in some states are written so that you can get into deep trouble for tiny things like that when you are just passing through.Tennesseannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-32197225310784716222013-07-29T16:59:22.241+02:002013-07-29T16:59:22.241+02:00You claimed that it's because I'm from Ark...You claimed that it's because I'm from Arkansas that I figured someone in Georgia could get to New York without going through New Jersey.
