We have a trip planned for this summer going from DFW to Seattle, and then on to Juneau, AK for an 8 day Inlet passage cruise...the trip back will be an exact reverse of the inbound trip...Since I am not driving, I do not plan on having my TX DL readily available for traveling purposes, as I have had no problems flying with my passport only for ID purposes, even for domestic travel...

How long ago was your trip where they did this to you???
This was in 2008. There's more to the story. I was annoyed that she asked for my NJ Driver's License (this happened in Newark, NJ) as I had handed her my passport. Tried to gently make a point. She got more demanding, I got more sarcastic. Not a smart move, probably - but it was entertaining!

Seriously, however, I'd make certain that I ALWAYS have my state-issued ID (aka driver's license) on my person at all times if I'm traveling. It's just easier.

Good luck!

Lol I learned that type of lesson when the ticket counter gal wouldn't accept my US passport as my sole form of ID - so I asked if my lifetime NRA membership card would suffice.

:lol:

Yes, it's a darn good thing I was 3 hours early for my flight - I needed every minute of it... :rolll

Flying to FL on AA

Flying to sunny FL on AA soon. I've never packed a firearm before. Read all of the regulations and it says locked in a "hard-sided" case. Would the hard-plastic case my XD came in qualify as a proper hard-case? If I took the flexible gun lock and wrapped it around the handle and locked it up, is that acceptable? Can factory boxed ammunition be simply placed in the suitcase itself or does it need to be in a locked hard-case as well?

TIA.

G.
