I make no apologies for my opinion of golf, it's flog spelled backward, and Mark Twain, IMHO, opined that it was a good walk wasted.

That aside, be wary of carrying concealed off your body, briefcases, gym bags, and other such things lead to forgotten guns that have a tendency to get people in trouble. In my time with TSA, I found three different undeclared, improperly packed (ie not in a locked hard case), handguns in golf bags. Two were loaded, one I found on an x-ray and another I found while doing a manual search and I actually had it in my hand as I realized what it was.

All three maintained that they merely forgot that they had them there, one had actually flown up from Houston that day, and the gun had been missed on the flight up. Only one of the three had a CHL. All were at least interviewed by Dallas Police Love Field Unit, two were arrested.

So, I would heartily recommend that if you must waste your time playing golf :smile: you fins a way to either pack on your body, or set an alarm on your computer, PDA, or cell phone, to remind yourself to disarm your galf bag.
