[QUOTE="bettingpython, post: 1545203, member: 4307"] American airlines will not allow you to transport ammo in magazines. If you are flying them make sure you know your airlines specific regulations. Tulsa to NOLA, the counter agent had me open the case show her the weapons and ammo and place the affidavit in the firearms case. NOLA to Tulsa agent looked at the case asked if it was locked and had me place the affidavit in the suitcase with the firearms case. Tulsa to Nashville agent had me place affidavit in bag with locked metal case, did not want it opened for inspection. Nashville to Tulsa had to open case and place affidavit in the case with the pistols. Different agents different procedures just be sure you know your airlines policy, I use a browning pistol case with combo lock latch it holds 2 full size or a full size and a bug, or 3 pocket guns (2 in the same caliber) with ammo in original boxes and my knife. Make sure your case meets TSA standards, if it uses padlocks they need to keep the case fully closed if the latches are popped. If you can pry an edge up it's no good. Hang out down by the ticket counter for 10 to 15 minutes after checking your bag, after that enjoy your flight, it's extremely easy. [/QUOTE]
