Air travel can be tricky. If you plan to travel with both a firearm and ammunition, you need to check if the particular carrier you are flying on allows the firearm and ammo to be transported in the same bag. Some do - others don't. Check their website and read carefully. It also can't hurt to call and confirm. Printing out the airline's policy is wise as well.

I try not to fly anymore due to the atrocity that is the TSA, but I have a trip coming up that I have no choice. I have a slight advance due to a work qualification, but it doesn't do much. This will be handy.
