Okay so, I am heading to Alaska and a couple of weeks and I would like to transport a firearm with me. I have talked to the TSA and the airline and they don't give you much information. Here's what I want to do.
The part of Alaska I'm going to is Bear Country so that means I'm bringing a firearm for our hikes. In Massachusetts it is legal to carry someone else's gun as long as its mass compliant and your license to do so. I was planning I'm borrowing my friends Smith & Wesson 500 seeing as how it is a bear sidearm. Can this be done flying? Does the TSA prohibit this?
Other things it's not 100% clear is the case. The Smith & Wesson it has a 6-inch barrel so it has a large case. It's hard plastic and has two locking loops. The website said that it had to be in a hard-sided case. Is the large Factory Smith & Wesson case adequate.
Alaska being a constitutional carry state all I can find on their websites says if you're lawfully able to carry it elsewhere you're lawfully able to carry it in Alaska. Thoughts
