Re: My First Experience (Airline Travel with Firearm)

Last year I flew twice on different airlines to Burlington Vt from Houston. Both times my luggage did not arrive with me. Once, I had to wait for three hours at the airport until the next flight arrived with my bags, and the next time, they had to be delivered to me across the lake in New York where I was at. There is no way I would trust the airlines with my weapons.

The year before that, I had to go up there for my grandmothers funeral. This was in November, and I was hunting in Leakey when I got the news. I hurried home, and quickly packed everything I needed and proceeded to the airport. The only warm jacket I had was the one I was hunting in. I passed through the metal detectors and put my coat through the xray machine. Imagine my surprise in Burlington when I reached into the pocket in the airport and discovered 5 loaded 30-06 shells.

No offense to the poster who worked for TSA, but there doesnt seem to be any consistancy in the agency other than the level of confusion I have seen at the airports. If I travel somewhere and want to take my weapon, I will drive rather than fly.
