Howdy...
It looks like I will be travelling to some destinations this year through work - A hotel suite will be home for up to 16 weeks at a time. (with humour, someone has to do it, the pay will make my life a lot more comfortable when I come back & It would give me some distance from a disasterous relationship that broke vasila's heart...foolish, but the truth.)
I'd appreciate some input from experienced travellers on travelling with a firearm. I'm an average female, nothing special to look at, just tall. I will be travelling alone most of the time, especially on the domestic flights. I will have a companion (coworker) on the intenational flights, but I will be rooming alone.
I have done some research, & I see that travelling outside of the USA does require plenty of written permission, notices, etc. that I will not be able to qualify under since I am a basic civilian working abroad. I am aware I may have other choices available for personal protection once I arrive that I may be able to obtain.
1) Any clever ideas for protection when you're working in: London? Mumbai (Bombay)? Kingston(Jamaica)?
2) Some things I've considered are: purchasing a blade or two after I've reached destination for carry - I'm not unfamiliar with them (said with a bland look on my face... ); refreshing my skills at aikido before I go; a nice cricket bat in London (humor..); even hiring out someone's brother or cousin in Mumbai with said firearm to escort me around for a day or night if I deem it necessary.
Domestic travel seems to allow firearms & ammo as checked baggage, with many rules attached. The hotel chain I am using has an in-room safe in all rooms. I'm expected to go to California (Chico), Texas, Atlanta, & Florida.
1) My primary choice will be my Sig Sauer P239. I'm going to put on night sights before I go. And practice more with it, too. Good choice? Or is it a pandora's box? I doubt a shotgun or rifle would be appropriate, please advise.
2) I will be checking out reciprocal laws on CCW & local laws on firearms before I go. Anything you experienced travellers run into in those states that you would want me to know?
3) Should I take out an insurance policy on my firearm since I'll be travelling with it?
*sigh* I'll probably have more questions later, but that's all my brain can come up with for tonight...
many thanks,
vasilia
