I traveled for the first time with my firearm this week. I have a Utah permit and it was comforting to have my gun with me (except for the day in Illinois, when they require the gun to be locked up). I flew on Frontier Airlines and found the process very easy and straightforward. I followed all of the airline and TSA rules and made it easy for them.
In Salt Lake City they had me place the Firearms Declaration form inside my luggage, but outside the locked gun case. When returning from St. Louis, they insisted that the declaration go inside the locked gun case. So, which one is correct?
I've scoured the TSA web site and it doesn't seem to indicate which one is correct. I would think that unless they can 'see' the form inside a locked case with the X-ray machine, that the only way they could tell if the gun has been declared is to cut the lock, thus it should probably go outside the case, right?
