Having flown with checked firearms on more than a few occasions I can avoid the big pitfalls but there are always things you can't control. I use locked bags that are too big to conceal, too small to get noticed. Hard cases are made to look like well worn tool boxes. I avoid connections. My phone number is always on the outside so the TSA won't try to break the lock. Then you go to the counter and the yahoo checking you in Yells across the room, "This guy's gotta check his nine!"<br /><br />And the bad part is all a crook has to do at an airport is put it on the wrong cart and tell his buddy which claim to check. Your gun can be out of the building before you even board the plane.Mr. Engineering Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14836082448388766212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-38459563369400943592015-10-21T19:01:51.781-05:002015-10-21T19:01:51.781-05:00Agree with both Peter and WN... sighAgree with both Peter and WN... sighOld NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-28136903389890380802015-10-21T18:27:13.846-05:002015-10-21T18:27:13.846-05:00Pfffft.

Never heard what happened to their four crates that went missing.<br />And I dread remembering what happened to a buddy moving households commercially. The assistant truck driver broke into the truck and stole a bunch of stuff, including some rare guns and personal items.<br />Wandering NeuronsUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04752881642891254978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-81191678835852318502015-10-21T17:04:13.207-05:002015-10-21T17:04:13.207-05:00That's why we didn't even bother trying to...That's why we didn't even bother trying to ship our guns and ammo to Blogorado this year. I took over 10,000 rounds of ammo (mostly rimfire, for the benefit of those in the area who are still experiencing a .22LR drought) and ten guns. The cost of shipping all that would have been prohibitive, and the thought of trying to get it through the TSA at the airport, while funny, wouldn't have ended well.<br /><br />We ended up hiring a nice car and driving out. The cost of hiring it, fuel and hotels probably ended up balancing nicely with what we'd have paid for air fares plus shipping charges - and we got to see some nice stretches of country while we were at it.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10595089829300831372noreply@blogger.com
