Flying with a Firearm

[ChadAmberg]

So, you need two different locks? One on the gun case, and one on the suite case?

Are other airports the same when traveling back?

Thanks

You now need two locks on the gun case only. Most of my older cases would lock in the middle, but you could easily pry the side of the case up and remove the guns without leaving a trace. So now you use a lock on each corner. In theory, a briefcase with the combination lock on each side works just fine, just supply your own foam. And the locks must be non TSA locks. If you choose to lock your normal luggage, there you would use the standard TSA locks.

I sure hope I'm ok, the case I bought only has one lock in the middle. I tried prying up on the corners of the case, but it is very secure. I checked the TSA's website to see their rules for a case and it seems there is no mention of needing two or more locks. I guess I will know tonight....

The container must be locked. A locked container is defined as one that completely secures the firearm from access by anyone other than you. Cases that can be pulled open with little effort do not meet this criterion.

Edit: I think I am going to return it for the 4 pistol model with two locks.
