Well, I'm headed up to Washington State today for my sister's wedding. It'll be the first time I've flown with my pistol as Utah is now recognized by WA. I've printed out the Reciprocity list from the AG's webpage, just in case I meet some LE that aren't up to date on who's honoring whom. I hope things go smoothly with the TSA.
Here's my question though. I may be taking possession my dad's Colt Python, that is, if I can convince him to let me keep it "secure" in my safe here in Utah. I'm planning to just fit it into my pistol case and declare it at the airport along with my carry weapon. Are there any legal problems with this? Also, there is a case of about 1k rounds to go with the pistol. I don't know if I can ship it so I'm going to get my sister to drive it down here with her new husband. You guys that have accuired and transported firearms and ammunition over state lines, am I doing things right? It will be a gift from a family member, though it is out of state. The last thing I want to do is break the law.
