    Transporting on Aircraft

    let's start at the bottom '*** Southwest *** specifically do not allow ammo and firearm in the same case, though a handgun case can be inside a regular suitcase with ammo. Horse pucky. Southwest ( Love Field, Spokane, Austin ) sure as h*** did/do allow ammo in the same case with no problem...

    Transporting on Aircraft

    'I hand it to them saying "this bag contains an unloaded firearm", they x-ray it, and we're done.' I don't know what airport you fly in/out of but THAT has NEVER been my experience. The TSA people MUST SEE the firearm and verify it's unloaded - to do that the case HAS to be opened. Have had it...

    Transporting on Aircraft

    Ed Ames 'They'll call/page/roust you out of the airplane at gunpoint if they need to but they won't bust the locks.' IF they can find you - plane already left gate/airport etc. They won't waste a lot of time looking. I know what the regs say but regs written by breauacrats are often different...

    Transporting on Aircraft

    GHF, 'TSA locks are not allowed' ?? Where'd you get that one ?? Simply isn't true 'cause that's ALL I have ever used. Reason is simple - if, for whatever reason, your bag is inspected again, ( I've had it happen once - note inside stating the bag had been inspected again ), goes through another...

    Question on carrying while traveling on upcoming trip

    Cross country travel can be an 'exercise in aggravation' The laws in various states is a literal patchwork. What is legal in one state will get you some 'free' lodging and a heafty attorney's bill in othere ( if you're lucky !! ). In the past, I have checked with the Highway Patrol...

    Guns "lost" during a flight, what's the limit of my liability?

    Sounds like you haven't flown in a while You delclare the firearm at check-in. Then you are directed to the TSA area where the firearm is 'inspected' and in my case, we always go through the process together. A card with name and address is placed INSIDE the inner case. There is no longer...

    Guns "lost" during a flight, what's the limit of my liability?

    Glad to hear you got your guns back. As for the case, contact the airline. You never know and if you get nothing you're no worse off. As a side note - 'Especially now that they make you leave your suitcase unlocked when you check it in.' Not quite. Look into TSA locks. Combination lock...

    Traveling to NY City or Chicago

    One question that no one has asked - is exactly WHY does your GF want to go to Chicago &/or NYC ?? Because she's heard/seen what 'wonderful' places they are perhaps or then again it's really none of my/our business. Having been to both cities multiple times - let's see - um - Big...

    History lesson: Second Amendment requires regulation

    Have any of these so called 'historians' EVER read the 'federalists papers' ???? One can call the second amendment vague, ambigious or any other names to fog-up the issue but the writings in the Federalist's Papers CLEARLY spell out the intent and resoning behind the Second Amendment. Or...

    California Alert.. SKSs now in danger...

    Agreed - have seen it first-hand ' I used to live in Katy TX and while they are gun friendly, the Mexicans have already taken over there. I have no problem with Mexicans really, it is just that when there are too many of them, they turn a place into Mexico. Why leave Mexico just to turn where...

    Share Your TSA "Horror" Story

    Creeping / SMMAssociates Close but not quite - The air is not recycled at all. Leaking around the seals is minimal and air replacement at that rate would asphyxiate the passengers is short order !!! 100 - 300 people breathe a LOT of air !! There is a constant inflow of fresh air and the...

    Well, he did the best he could.

    Tha flaws are in the 911 system itself - Idahoemt - i know you didn't make the rules or create the system and this is certainly NOT aimed at you but - all the call taker needed to dispatch the police right then was - crime in progress - location and that's all. The...

    Coffee cans in crime fighting. (Mpls)

    Another gee-whiz toy for politicians to buy and LEOs to play with that accomplishes NOTHING. 'Hey, we now know that the shot was fired from right here' So what ! This leads to arrest/conviction exactly how ?? Expect the shooter to hang around and see how long it taks 'authorities' to show...

    Smith and Wesson's "smart" gun.

    As for EMP .... Lightning produces EMP ( the closer to the 'bolt' the stronger the EMP) and yes, I have had SEVERAL things, um, disabled due to the EMP discharges in thunderstorms. Depending on the shielding, this things could be totally lobotmized by a variety of natural or man-made causes...
