What is if any the maximum allowable short term capital losses you can claim on your taxes?

You can claim a maximum capital loss of $3,000 each year and carry any remaining capital loss forward. This is AFTER netting it against capital gains. So if you have $20,000 capital loss and $15,000 in capital gains, your net would be a $5,000 loss. You can claim $3,000 of that loss this year and $2,000 next year. NOTE: The question states "short term capital losses" - no such animal. Until you hold the asset for a year or more, any gain or loss irealized from the sale of that asset s considered netted against your ordinary income. After a year the gain or loss is long term, or capital, and a long term loss can be used to off-set any capital gains to the full extent of your current yerar capital gains. If your capital loss exceeds the capital gains, you can apply up to $3,000 of the additional capital loss against your ordinary income. Any additional loss over $3,000 in the current year would roll forward to by used in future years.

What is the maximum amount of long term capital loss that an individual can claim on its 2008 tax return?

You report ALL of your capital losses (long or short term) on your tax return. They are used to first offset all of your capital gains (no limit). If there is still a net capital loss remaining, you can deduct the smallest of the following from your ordinary income: 1) $3000 2) your net capital loss 3) your AGI (computed without including any capital gains or losses) minus your standard or itemized deductions, but not less than $0. The full amount not used is then carried over and treated as a new capital loss in the immediately following year. Always fill out the carryover worksheet in the Schedule D instructions to determine the amount carried over. Never assume that the answer is obvious.

How do you carry a handgun from state to state?

It depends on what you mean exactly. You can transport an unloaded handgun in your vehicle while you travel as long as the handgun isn't accessible to you. However, if you have a handgun carry permit, you can carry the gun on your person in some states. That said, you can carry a handgun on your person inside your car in some states without a permit.
