That's an interesting campaign you're running.Longshot38 wrote:Because when I arrive at the airport my checked luggage is packed and ready to go. I make a point to have all this squared away for the sole purpose of making things run smoothly and be as efficient as possible. Case in point today. Walk up with boarding pass, hand them the bag, declare firearm, and done. No need to disrobe for this.pbwalker wrote:Seems like an unnecessary hassle to bring upon yourself. Why not just put it in the checked luggage?
Alright on what grounds. As stated by the agent today "It's not part of a gun", not a single law or statue exist restricting the wear of a empty holster, and no where in the rules laid out by the ATF, FAA, TSA, or any other alphabet agency are holsters mentioned or defined as part of a firearm. Trust me many, including LE, have tried to play mental polo with me and skirt the law. And to date it has never worked.Excalibur wrote:I'm fairly certain that if you tried that in NJ, DC, or similar parts of the country, the best you could hope for would be to come away without your holster.
The other possibilities go rapidly downhill from there.
Never mind it's not against the law - things are done just because they can be, and those actions are backed by the full force of the government.
You won't win that battle.
Well lets see they rules as defined by the TSA. Remove laptops from your carry-on to be scanned separately, remove shoes and belt, and empty pockets. Alright check I did all of that. But no where does to say remove holster. Nor do they even mention a holster.Carry-a-Kimber wrote:Why did you leave your holster on during the body scan? Did you leave your belt and shoes on too?
I hope you'll continue to keep us up to date on new developments.
