Airlines--checking my sidearm

[bwiese]

Yellowfin,
You will not have problems Thousands of people fly from/to CA with their (legal, unloaded, locked container) firearms.

I regularly fly to Pacific Northwest with one or more ARs and a pistol and a fair amount of ammo and hicap mags. No problems at all.

I have a friend who forgot to declare his Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 mag when going to Alaska. Think he was more worried about getting a serious earful from his wife and fishing buddy for this major brain fart then the actual handslapping and fine from the airline.

They're probably less likely to lose your baggage. I saw a story a couple years ago about a photographer who put a starter pistol in with his camera equipment so they wouldn't lose it.

I read that article too. Can't remember where it was...

Bill, do you have the ammo in the mags, in your other checked baggage, in the locked case, or how?
