Amtrak presumably is under Federal, not Nevada, jurisdiction. Assuming it was a Federal violation.

  Unloaded in checked baggage has been legal since 2010. So he must have made a mistake, kept a handgun in personal baggage? Not worth 6 squad cars in my opinion. Maybe a kind reminder, and move it to his checked bag?

    Warrant from some previous event in another state?

    > Not worth 6 squad cars in my opinion. Ah, but your opinion isn't what sends squad cars out. I didn't think that exploring an abandoned mall warranted five squad cars, two fire engines and a helicopter, but the Allen police department disagreed with me.

    But you don't know if he simply made an honest mistake, or if he had a reason for keeping a gun with him.

      ...and it shouldn't matter, if he had the right to carry a firearm. Anyway, putting it into checked luggage erases the difference between the two.

        Except the rules are different for many federal areas. Transportation included.
