There are a couple of places we have always wanted to go, but because of these communist States we will never see the beautiful country.
:banghead:
If traveling to those states it doesn't matter if the firearm is in your residence, if it's not on the approved list and/or you don't have that state firearm owner identification card you can't have the firearm. In a few of those you might get by with the firearm separated from the ammo and the firearm in a lockbox. You'd have to dig into the state laws to see.

It's been a few years since I've flown with a firearm*. My last trip upon arrival, both ends, Southwest held the bag in the security office because it contained a "high value" item. Do they not do that anymore?

In that beyond-his-control disastrous event of a reroute to LaGuardia, he couldn't remove the gun from his checked luggage and put in a rental locker. The result would have been the same: he got his luggage and stayed in New York. Presumably, the airline wouldn't have put the checked luggage on a different flight and let it continue on to Maine without its passenger, and if that happened it may very well have been illegal--in two different ways--for a friend in Maine to retrieve the luggage for him.

Thank goodness I haven't had to worry about something like that, but does anybody know if the TSA have any provision for it? Can you go them, explain the circumstances, and have them lock-up the firearm and keep it secure until resumption of travel the next day? Lock-up the whole piece of luggage at the airport with TSA or the airline and stop by Walgreens on the way to the hotel for a toothbrush and a comb? Immediately check the luggage onto tomorrow's flight and sleep at the airport? :headscratch
My first plan would have been to not pick up the luggage, counting on it making the trip without me. Second would have been to pick it up,, rent a vehicle and drive on to Maine. I think it's obvious that he was never warned about checking in in certain states. I talk about that in my classes.
