you may have seen me before
3
i like guns
4
some people dont
5
i speak at lots of cons
6
many of which i cant drive to
7
my bags used to get opened a lot
8
and not always by the TSA
9
nowadays i lock all my gear
10
notice these are not TSA locks
11
but proper heavy-duty padlocks
12
how is this allowed
?
13
simple, really
14
now, i fly with firearms all the time
15

• flying with firearms
• its easier than you think
• its relatively hassle-free
• it results in major security

16

• facts and the law
• federal standards (mostly uniform,
  specifics can vary by airline but no one can
  abridge your rights)
• checked bag only, unloaded (do i really
  have to tell you that?)
• non-TSA lock (no one else gets the key or
  combo)
• declared upon check-in

17

• specifics about packing
• hard case, size can vary (ill assume
  youll use larger luggage to leverage the law to
  your advantage)
• ammo policies can vary a lot by airline
  (how its packed, how much you can carry, same
  luggage or separately)
• bags may not be opened once secured (unless
  you are present)
• no outside indicator labels of any kind (27
  CFR 478.31 - Delivery by Common or Contract
  Carrier, 18 USC Section 922e)

18
how the procedure works and what to expect

some extra pointers that can make the whole
process easier, better, faster, stronger
27

• extra pointers
• dont be a dumbass when you declare
• keep cases locked as much as possible
  (better to be asked five times to open them than
  to send them away unsecured)
• getting to secondary screening area
• no outside indicator labels of any kind
  (thats US federal law, other nations have own
  standards)

Federal law states No common or contract
carrier shall require or cause any label, tag, or
other written notice to be placed on the outside
of any package, luggage, or other container that
such package, luggage, or other container
contains a firearm. 18 USC Section 922(e)

79

• what counts as a firearm?
• proper guns
• flare guns

• airsoft pieces
• replica weapons
• gun parts hardware?

the law specifies firearms which, by
definition, expel a projectile by means of a
combustible propellant but essentially, they
want to avoid screeners or automated x-ray
equipment seeing anything that looks like a
firearm when they werent expecting to encounter
it.http//deviating.net/firearms/packing/flare
