Re: Flying with checked pistol

I usually use the same locked box for firearm and ammo. ammo is in "factory" box inside locked box. IIRC the actual TSA limit is something like 11 pounds of ammo???? I usually only have one box.

Standard spiel when I hit the counter is to place the checked bag on the scale, hand the agent my photo ID and state that "I am checking one bag which contains an unloaded firearm and one box of ammuntiton packed in accordance with TSA and (Whatever name) airline regulations." I always carry a folder with me with a printed copy of the TSA reg and a printed copy of that airlines reg. Never flown Spirit so don't know what there site says. I have flown American, Southwest, Delta, and Continental.

As stated, security screening varies widely from airport to airport, but most times with that CALM, LOW VOICE announcement the agent USUALLY just fills out the card, asks me to sign and then place the card inside the bag.
