Glad you clarified that it won't be carried on.

You read the TSA guidelines but did you check with United's firearms policy? Is your CCW permit valid in New Orleans?

Put the ammo in a retail box, it doesn’t need to be in a locked container.

I’ve never had to say anything more than “I need to declare”.

Don’t let the agent talk you into putting the “unloaded” declaration card into the locked container. Politely ask for a manager or TSA supervisor.

I’ve flown in and out of New Orleans a few times now via AA and it’s pretty mundane. No extra steps. When waiting for your bag at the airline’s baggage office try to keep an eye on the carousel as I’ve had my red tagged bag end up there.

Do you have a ccw that will allow you to carry in New Orleans?

Perfect. Thank you.

I have flown a few times with rifles and handguns, from my experience this video covers all the important info.

Every time I've flown it has been a non-event. I did have a United person at John Wayne ask for me to show the weapon was unloaded. I refused and asked for a TSA person. No way did I want to remove the weapon from its case while at the counter. TSA came over, said not needed, and that was that. This is the only time that ever happened.

Please do not post the same question in 2 or more forums.

Merged.

I bought a Pelican case. It's a hard case and lets you lock up all your stuff with non-TSA locks since a gun is in it. https://www.buycasesforless.com/p-12...SABEgIAe_D_BwE
