Even though the DOJ letter specifically lays out the scenario where a person is traveling legally from one state to another and is only moving a gun from the airport parking lot to the check in counter, and agrees that this is covered by LEOSA, the PAPD does not agree and has an instruction by the local prosecutors to arrest those individuals. These people are in jail for days and never get their guns back.

The NRA has filed a suit on their behalf against the PAPD and it is in the court process now.
No officer discretion?
