This is good to know. But also be ready for individual TSA agents to not be well informed, and possibly biased. Should just be an inconvenience, though.OneGun wrote: ↑Tue Jun 25, 2019 1:12 pm Wait a minute! I despise the politics of my birth city, but Chicago is not NY/NJ and no one asks for my permit. I have flown to Chicago and back a number of times with my gun(s). Even though I have a Illinois non-resident permit, it is not like NY/NJ. First, when I check into my flight at O'Hare, I ask for a declaration form. This does NOT trigger a call to the police. Second, I fill out my portion of the orange form. Three, I am escorted to a TSA station behind the counter while TSA checks my bag. Last, I get the thumbs up and I go to my gate. EZ PeeZee.
Just follow the rules the TSA and your airline's rules.
Travel safe.
I was once questioned by a TSA agent because I was carrying what he thought to be a large sum of cash ($20,000 or so). He noticed the bulge in my pocket and asked what it was after I had gone through the metal detector. I explained that it was just cash, not anything dangerous, and showed it to him. He then demanded to know how much cash I was "declaring". Since he wasn't a customs agent, and more importantly, I wasn't flying out of the U.S., this was obviously an unnecessary question. After a few minutes, I was lucky enough to have his supervisor come over to explain the law (and his job) to him.
