Traveling with Firearms by Commercial Airline

SEE LINKS BELOW

Apologies for the poor video quality - I'm traveling with a laptop and a camera, no lighting equipment.

I travel a lot, and sometimes this travel is by commercial airline. In this video, I share some of the federal regulations, airline policies, and general tips regarding the proper way to bring firearms with you when you travel by commercial air carrier.

i am a right winger, avid shooter, a subscriber to your channel and big fan of all your videos, except that comment on bringing firearms into NYC airports "really sneaky" thats questionable my friend, i live in NY not in any of the 5 boroughs so i don't have any over the top restrictions on any of my firearms. but i don't advise anyone to be "sneaky" when it comes to firearms and commercial airlines

Buy a $40.00 flare gun! Throw it in your luggage. Check your bag with a firearm. Lock your bag. YOU keep your key no crappy TSA lock.

Safest way to fly with expensive gear. 50 state leagle.

you might want to add New Jersey as a state you don't want to want to come with guns like NY

Not only do different airlines have different policies, but many airports have different ways of going about the firearm checking process. Indianapolis International actually takes your keys from you, leaves the security area, and opens the case without you being present before passing you through the security checkpoint. After doing this on two separate trips out of Indianapolis, I asked the TSA gentleman about this. He stated that "its just how IND does this sort of thing." IMO, No Bueno!
