How To Travel With A Gun Safely and Legally
How To Safely And Legally Travel With A Firearm Complying with the TSA requirements is something you don?t want to worry about after you arrive at the airport. It is important that you fully understand the TSA requirements for transporting your firearm from destination to destination. This will not only provide for a faster, easier, more hassle-free experience when you arrive, but it?s also important for other reasons, like the threat of weapon confiscation, a run in with the law, and not following the rules is a crime with stiff penelaties of nto only criminal prosecution, but cival penalites up to $10,000 per violation. Rules and Regulations for safely and legally transporting your firearm* The key regulatory requirements to transporting firearms, firearm parts or ammunition in checked baggage are: (taken from the TSA website) * You must declare all firearms to the airline during the ticket counter check-in process. * The firearm must be unloaded. * The firearm must be in a hard-sided container. * The container must be locked. * We recommend that you provide the key or combination to the security officer if he or she needs to open the container. You should remain present during screening to take the key back after the container is cleared. If you are not present and the security officer must open the container, we or the airline will make a reasonable attempt to contact you. If we can?t contact you, the container will not be placed on the plane. Federal regulations prohibit unlocked gun cases (or cases with broken locks) on aircraft. * You must securely pack any ammunition in fiber (such as cardboard), wood or metal boxes or other packaging that is specifically designed to carry small amounts of ammunition. * You can?t use firearm magazines/clips for packing ammunition unless they completely and securely enclose the ammunition (e.g., by securely covering the exposed portions of the magazine or by securely placing the magazine in a pouch, holder, holster or lanyard). * You may carry the ammunition in the same hard-sided case as the firearm, as long as you pack it as described above. * You can?t bring black powder or percussion caps used with black-powder type firearms in either your carry-on or checked baggage. Additional restrictions and regulations for transporting a firearm Violations can result in criminal prosecution and civil penalties of up to $10,000 per violation. Airlines may have their own additional requirements on the carriage of firearms and the amount of ammunition that you may have in your checked baggage. Therefore, travelers should also contact the airline regarding its firearm and ammunition carriage policies. Also, please note that many other countries have different laws that address transportation and possession of firearms. If you are traveling internationally, please check with the authorities at your destination about their requirements. Crushproof casing is required The best travel gun cases are made with a high-impact ABS plastic reinforced with fiberglass that provides superior strength and durability. Many have an outside that is rugged and strong while the inside may come with a foam bottom and top lid, and a soft center of ?pick & pluck? foam. This foam is a block of foam that has been pre-scored, all the way through so that you litterally just ?pick? out the individual pieces of foam you don?t want, and ?pluck them out leaving the negative space behind to softly cradle your contents. *This list is not meant to be an all inclusive list or a legal document. Please consult the TSA and your airline for the most up-to-date information.
