    Other than DC, what states are you worried about transporting through? Illinois can be avoided with a southern route.

    Is Virginia bad?

    I see a route of DC to Virginia to Tennessee to Kentucky to Missouri to Kansas to Colorado.

    You could get to west Virginia to limit mileage in Virginia without going to Maryland.

    Yep, I would try to make sure that I did not even have to stop for gas, never leave the car...
    If I was hauling lets say a glock pistol, I would pull the slide off - and even put that in a different locked container.

    not sure what the law is on trigger locks, etc -
    A firearm, in a locked unit IS LEGAL in all 50 states for traveling. We we drive through N. Ca, the guns are in a locked ammo can. Ammo / mags in a separate can. Well that's what it looks like if stopped, hypothetically.

    Lock em in secure transportation units. One could even go so far as to throw trigger locks on the guns, as well.


    other than that, you're gtg.

    Fly there, put all guns in approved cases with proper locks and fly them home with you. It?s actually pretty easy if flying is in your budget. . All info available on whatever airline you choose website. You may already own such a case.

    From the ATF website:


    6. May I lawfully ship a firearm to myself in a different State?

    Any person may ship a firearm to himself or herself in the care of another person in the State where he or she intends to hunt or engage in any other lawful activity. The package should be addressed to the owner “in the care of” the out-of-State resident. Upon reaching its destination, persons other than the owner must not open the package or take possession of the firearm.

    That's what I'd do if you actually have possession of the firearms. Or, fly/drive there, get guns, fly/drive back as others have noted.

    This is the direction I'm now leaning, even if I have to buy some cases.

    The logistics of the drive are intimidating; didn't suck as much when I was young and dumb. It's 24 hours, give or take, and the halfway point is St. Louis. That's near the bottom of the list of places I'd want to spend the night with anything valuable, let alone guns. Leave guns in the vehicle, it gets stolen. Tote them inside, get reported as a terrorist. Detouring around shit holes adds many hours.

    Better get a quote how much they're going to charge you for over weight baggage.

    This is pretty much the only way to guarantee no hiccups. Fly one way, rent a car, bring 'em back.
