In a couple of weeks I'll be flying for the first time with a firearm. I'm heading out of state with my shotgun. I'll be flying on Air Tran. I talked to Air Tran and it sounds as if I only need the following to legally take my shotgun;
1-gun must be unloaded
2-gun must be in a hard lockable case
3-ammo must NOT be shipped in the same case
4-firearm must be declared at check-in and visually inspected then locked up.
I plan on breaking down my shotgun so that I can use a 26" hard suit case and put it in with my hunting gear. I really don't want to make it conspicuous that I'm travelling with a gun by using a hard gun case.
I'll buy ammo when I arrive.
Any additional advice, cautions or warning?
