Re: Checked baggage containing a firearm.

It amazes me that there are so many ticket agents/handlers that are unaware of the law. It seems that they'd "firearm train" a select few, and have them fully knowledgeable of what to do/not do.

Three years ago I was flying back from Alaska. Declared my firearms at the counter, filled out the forms, and the lady said "you'll take your bags around the counter, and down through TSA, and they'll take your bags". I'm standing in the TSA line with my spider senses going off. I call over an officer, & tell him what I was told. He pointed at a line on the floor by the conveyor and said "good thing you called me over....you were ten feet from handcuffs".

I wrote a note to the airlines....and yea, never heard back.

I'm flying out again this week to Florida, and will have my weapon(s) with me.

Know what I like about Florida? NO 30.06 / 30.07 SIGNS!!!! The law is the law there. But that's for another thread.
