NRA Request for Information Concerning Flying with Guns

[Soupy44]

You will read in the attachment: "NRA is looking for specific information on the treatment of the shooting community by airlines, airports and the TSA." NRA is asking competitive shooters to report experiences, both good and bad, you've had while flying to shooting competitions with your firearms. So that NRA employees will have something to report to the NRA Board on January 7th, please send in your input ASAP to the e-mail address or FAX number mentioned in the attachment. Feel free to forward this request to your competitive shooter contacts, home club members, etc. I know it is the holidays, but competitive shooters have great e-mail lists so please help! Thanks!

This would be a great opportunity to share your flying with air-guns stories. Specifically "Can you open that cylinder for me please?" comments. I've heard of others who have had pellets/ammo dumped out, broken stocks and spotting scopes.

I routinely fly with firearms when going to visit family. My Dad and I like to shoot together when I visit. I once brought some reloads with me when my Dad and I were working up a load together. The idiot TSA agent that inspected my bag didn't latch the ammo box and when I got to my destination, I had a pile of cartridges at the bottom of my bag. This really sucked since there were five different loads in the box and were now mixed up.
