Amtrak to allow guns on trains. Workers union calls policy 'lunacy'

Amtrak announced an expanded policy permitting passengers to bring declared, unloaded firearms and ammunition aboard eligible trains in secured cases, rather than checking them into baggage cars. The workers union swiftly condemned the move as 'lunacy,' warning of safety risks. The new rules apply to certain train services and require firearms to be stored in locked cases, aligning with federal transportation guidelines.
