insurance on firearms when flying & checking them as baggage

[Socal858]

what kind of insurance covers firearms against loss when you check em in and fly?

renters? do you have to buy the special NRA insurance?

anybody know what american airlines covers? some crappy amount probably?

The airlines reimburse you at $9.07/Lb for checked luggage on international flights and a maximum of $1250 per passenger on domestic flights. Your NRA membership comes with loss and theft insurance that will cover it also. Your homeowners insurance will also cover losses away from home while on vacation and you can purchase travel insurance relatively cheaply to cover everything from loss of luggage, to rain, pickpockets, etc.

do you know anything about whether renters insurance makes such coverage? i found a sportsmans travel plan by AIG for about 25-30 bucks that i may consider
