So much for interstate transport laws...

Rifle, Ammunition and Blade Found in Man's Car Near White House

A man who approached Secret Service outside the White House was arrested after officers found a rifle, 6-inch blade and ammunition in his car Wednesday afternoon.
R.J. Kapheim, 41, approached a Secret Service officer just before 1 p.m. and said "someone in Iowa told me to drive to the White House."
Officers found a .30-30 rifle, a 6-inch fixed blade and ammunition in Kapheim's parked car at 16th Street and Constitution Avenue NW.
Kapheim was arrested for having an unregistered firearm, and additional charges are pending.

Not too many details as usual. Was he a felon? Did he make any threats?

Maybe legal according to federal transportation laws if the man wasn't a felon but there are certain areas I couldn't imagine taking a firearm and I'm pretty sure D.C. and the White House top the list, followed by NY, NJ, HI, IL, CA, etc..... Sad our rights should know no bounds, especially state lines. :(

I carry a gun because a cop is too heavy.  I carry a lot of ammo because I cant run very fast.

He shoulda declared in advance his intent to register his rifle.

Here's the procedure (from the Washington, DC website):
===========================================
Previously Owned Firearm
To register a firearm you already own, you must file an application immediately after the firearm is brought into the District.  You can comply with this requirement by personally communicating your intent to register the firearm to the FRS before bringing the gun into the District.   You must then file an application for a registration certificate within 48 hours after communicating your intent to do so.
===========================================

Guess the Iowa Guy didn't tell him.   But then, he shoulda known.

FWIW,

Another possibility is that he was out of work and running out of cash and needed free room and board, with free clothing, health care and dental benefits, and recreation time thrown in for good measure.

If I understand this correctly, my legally registered firearm (don't get me started on that little bit of data mining) would also have to be registered in DC if I took it with me on vacation there? But if I let them know I was going to register it prior to getting to DC I would have 48 hours to register it with them?  Good thing it would take more than 48 hours to cause any mayhem once I was there.
