First Time Flying on Plane with Firearm ???

[rbeau30]

I went last month, they didn't even open up the case. My pistol was in a hard sided case locked up with a non tsa lock, and inside unlocked luggage. They basically gave me a tag to put in the baggage, and they brought my bag to the TSA screeners, they put it in their machine, and the TSA guys said I was good to go.

Pretty much the same way coming back. It took 15 minutes extra check in time. I went from DIA to Milwaukee, WI Noone asked to look inside the case at all. but I wouldn't be against it. And I was prepared to open it up with my key if they asked me to. They (TSA) asked me if I was the only one with the key that was it.


Travelling with a checked Firearm is pretty much routine for these airlines. Just follow the specific rules that your airline says. (I had to put masking tape over the exposed ammo in the mags)
