[QUOTE="MFE, post: 16471262, member: 36397"] Surprisingly, it depends on the airline, so check their policy, but generally, it must be unloaded and the ammunition kept separate, but it can be in the same locked case. edit: The case the gun came in is not TSA approved. If they can pry an edge up far enough to cause a gap even though it's locked, they'll reject it. It's best to get one of those little book-sized lockbox "safes". So, nothing in the chamber and the magazine removed. So drop the mag and lock the slide back. In most cases, the magazine can remain loaded, but in some cases, they'll want the rounds either in the original box they came in or some other box that holds them secure so they can't rattle around. That box CAN be locked inside the lockbox with the gun. It's best to do it that way just to be on the safe side. Go to the check-in counter and tell them you need to declare a firearm. They'll give you a card to fill out, which will be taped to the outside of the locking box containing your goods. They generally no longer want you to open the case for inspection at the check-in counter. They will likely call a porter over to escort you and your baggage to the TSA inspector. They'll want you to stay there until they run your luggage through inspection. Once the TSA is happy, you're on your way. It's worked for me lots of times with absolutely zero friction, other than having to plan extra time for going to the actual counter and waiting on TSA inspection. Only once have I been shaken down for packing a gun, at Minneapolis on my way back from a canoe trip. The dyke TSA agent took me in a back room and made me unpack my very carefully loaded backpack so she could inspect every damn thing. She left my lockbox open on the counter in the back room, with my XD45 sitting there with the mag next to it plain as day. The counter agent had to be there with us and she was clearly very uncomfortable. And the crazy thing is, if I wanted to wreak havoc, I could have had that gun operational in under 5 seconds while Dykey McDykeDyke wasted all our time going through all my shit with a fine tooth comb. There was not a damned thing preventative safe about it. Just introducing an inconvenience because she could. My buddy went through security right in front of me, with his own gun packed in his own luggage, and they didn't give two shits. [/QUOTE]
