Yeah, thanks guys... I appreciate the information. Unfortunately it reinforces what I was afraid of. I'm thinking it's too convoluted and ****ed up to even try to transport a revolver with no ammo, seeing that I will have 3 days in DC. I'll just barrow one of my dad's handguns while I'm in Ohio and next time I drive up, I'll leave an EDC package for me to use when I'm there.
