Well i will be taking a flight out of norfolk and would like to take my pistol with me. What is the proper presiders for doing so? Thanks for the help!! And does it add alot of time to do so?
Your responses never cease to make my head hurt.Also just to be sure, take your magazines apart, because if you got double stack and you fly "over" a state with no magazines over 10 I think this is problem. Not sure, just for your safety.
Ok well it doesn't seem to hard.
1. Make sure its unloaded.
2. Make sure its in a good locked box.
3. Make sure you declare it.
4. Fill out the form
5. Get on your flight.
So do i pretty much have it? Just want to make sure i do it with out a problem. Thanks for the help!
Just a question here.... what screams "STEAL ME" more to a potential thief.... a pelican case with NON-TSA locks on the outside of it, or a suitcase that looks like all the other suitcases around it?
Your luggage with the gun case will pop out
Which is why I also Cable lock my case to the inside FRAME of my suitcase.It is also easier for someone to open your suitcase and remove the pistol case and shove it in a backpack
Also just to be sure, take your magazines apart, because if you got double stack and you fly "over" a state with no magazines over 10 I think this is problem. Not sure, just for your safety.
You were kidding, right?
Damn you 45acpForMe, you beat me to posting that video. He is one of my favorite speakers at defcon.
Carry on....

2.1 A TSA approved flight box (preferably metal with full length hinge and two TSA approved locks that can't be easily pried open from the sides, pelican cases are good).
4.1 Lock the case back up with the form inside.
4.2 Check in it with your regular baggage.
Just another note, ammo cannot travel in the same case as the weapon. But when I traveled, the ammo can be placed in regular baggage as long as it in the original packaging. Although rules on that may have changed. Best to buy ammo at you destination perhaps.
Code of Fed Regs said:49 CFR 1540.111 (iv) The container in which it is carried is locked, and only the passenger retains the key or combination.
