No matter your final destination, when flying, we all have baggage. Some may adhere to the one-bag travel philosophy, while others may carry multiple suitcases due to the specific requirements of their adventure. However, a common interest among many travelers is flying with a firearm.
For those new to the process, understanding how to travel with a firearm can seem like a complex maze filled with confusing and often conflicting legal advice. For seasoned travelers, the process may feel like second nature. However, we all start somewhere, and it’s crucial to ensure everything is done correctly to avoid serious legal consequences.
**Disclaimer**: I am not a lawyer, and this is not legal advice but rather personal guidance based on my experiences. Laws are subject to change, so always check current regulations, especially if you are reading this years from now.
Before anything else, verify the legality of carrying a firearm into the destination state or country. For example, during a layover in New York City, travelers with specific types of firearms found themselves in a precarious situation due to strict local laws. This highlights the importance of thorough research on firearm laws in your destination.
When traveling with a firearm, it must be packed in a checked bag. The luggage should be a hard-sided container, like a Pelican case, with secure locks (not TSA-approved locks) to ensure that only you can access the firearm. The case should not allow any access to the firearm once it is locked.
Different airlines have varying regulations regarding ammunition. Generally, it should weigh under 1 pound and be kept in its original packaging within the same locked container as the firearm. Be sure to not have any ammo in your carry-on under any situation.
