Shipping firearms to myself?

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.

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.

Rent a cargo van, get a Walmart sleeping bag & mattress pad Eat, sleep, wear adult diapers and only exit the vehicle to gas up just like that astronaut did??. I heard she made good time for that cross country trip.
Or he could get a buddy to go on a road trip to co-drive.

Nope. Skipping the crime ridden areas pretty much makes it a wash. I would sleep at a rest area before stopping in st Louis again. Also rural areas hotels care less about bringing in gun cases.


So to the task at hand, I suggest grey man. Living in apartments for decades has created some funny habits of mine. pistols and rifles that can be broken down and put in large luggage. Pack towels and blankets for packaging materials. A large cooler is great for ammo. Large double rifle cases fit inside snowboard bags. Tennis bags fit shorty's just fine.

The cooler gives you the excuse to use a luggage cart.

Colorado plates gives you a story about the snowboarding stuff. omit the contents as if its obvious.
