First Air Travel w/ CHL..

[Reysc]

Will be in Orlando Sept 9-12 and debating whether it's worth the hassle. It's a businness trip and a little wine and dine for me from my Florida hosts. What'dya think ?? I am planning to travel light and trying to avoid to check-in any luggage...Thanks for your inputs..

So you Fedex/UPS your bag. Do you disclose the fact there is a firearm?

If it is lost, do you disclose the fact that you were shipping a firearm.

Please enlighten me to the BATFE rules on shipping firearms in baggage. Don't you have to ship to an FFL?

Please teach me.

I told UPS I was shipping a handgun when I sent mine back to Springfield, they didnt seem to care! Altough I think it cost more. Someone else mentioned in here you could shipa gun to yourself and not break transfer laws..... Guess we need a legal Eagle input for sure.

(B9) May a nonlicensee ship firearms interstate for his or her use in hunting or other lawful activity? [Back]


Yes. A person may ship a firearm to himself or herself in care of another person in the State where he or she intends to hunt or engage in any other lawful activity. The package should be addressed to the owner. Persons other than the owner should not open the package and take possession of the firearm.

[cyphur]

As I understand it, you can ship to yourself, even across state lines, but you are the only one legally allowed to open the package. I do not recall if they said other folks could sign for them.

I just carry renter's insurance that covers all of my property worldwide, so if I lose my baggage, they cut me a check. I have not lost a bag yet while flying, but I too mark them conspicuously.

Just take it with you it's not that bad. 4 days is a long time to live out of a carry on
