I have transported a handgun on planes dozens of times on probably every major airline. Went from Boston to FL and back to Boston. FL -> Boston was the usual, no issues. However, for the first time ever, the agent while checking in the gun for my FL -> Boston flight asked me for my CCW license. I asked if that was some new policy. She responded "no, but I am Columbian."
Errr what? I assumed she was trying to let me know her disapproval via the Columbia reference as the country has very high rates of crime or something to that effect. As I didn't have time to get into a pissing match with her, and didn't care if she wanted to see my non res CCW, I let her see it. I'm not sure what she cold have done if I either said no, or told her I didn't have one, but it was an interesting experience.
Gotta love people inserting their personal opinions into your travel. Could have asked for a manager and made a deal out of it, but she clearly had no intention of stopping me and I had a flight to catch!
