I flew with a couple guns a few years ago and there was nothing to it. I want to do it again and just wanted to make sure nothing has changed. Before I just went to the ticket counter where you check in your luggage and told them I had some firearms. They told me I had to go over to a couple...

I'm planning in flying from IL to CA and plan on bringing two pistols with me. I've been reading through the older threads on this and wanted to make sure I'm not missing anything. Since I'm not going to be flying with any ammunition, I'm ignoring any/all restrictions on it. Let me know if...

I have read a lot of the posts here about flying with a firearm, but none of them talk about the case when each leg of your trip is handled by a different airline. I know I need to declare my firearm at checkin. How do I make the second airline aware of a firearm in my baggage, when they are...
