^ Yup. When I traveled for business, I sometimes took my gun to the travel location. I was required to declare it, and demonstrate that it was not loaded, and locked, in my case, in a small gun safe. It then went with my checked baggage.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Same here, except the business part.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Further evidence that guns aren’t for everyone.

I once arrived in SeaTac with a double side rifle case with an AR -15 an AR-10 a Beretta 96, 2 S+W 331's and magazines and ammo for all.

The damned airlines cut open the external locks despite the case being inspected and sealed.

I had to open it and inspect for theft - right at the baggage claim carousel....

It made some people nervous enough to run away.....


Oh well....

Cool story, but I was really just pointing out the difference between checked and carry-on baggage.

Sorry.. I mispoke saying checked in - I did indeed mean carry on...

Not to be confused with carrion luggage...

You never know when you're going to take a dead deer with you on the aircraft.....

Better than really really smart criminals. Not that I want them at all but given the choice I'll take the dumb ones.
