I will be travelling from a small airport in Georgia to Salt Lake City on Delta. My trip will involve changing flights in Atlanta.
As I understand it, I should put my firearm, unloaded, in a hard sided case, and lock it. I will be taking one box of ammo, and will keep it in its original box.
I declare the gun upon check in at the ticketing counter.
At that point, will the TSA be called to inspect?
Will TSA want to open the case and see if it is loaded?
Can I use the case the gun came in from the factory, or does it need to be a special case of some kind?
Are all firearms in checked baggage inspected?
Am I supposed to keep the key with me during the flight?
Can I pack the gun case and box of ammo inside my suitcase so I only have one checked bag total?
Will the fact that I am changing flights in Atlanta cause any hassle? Will I need to do anything in Atlanta?
If anyone has flown with a gun lately I would appreciate your input. Hopefully someone can walk me throught the process. I have looked at the TSA website, and it is a little vague. Does anyone have a link to that actual federal regulations?
