[QUOTE="billet93, post: 1747957, member: 8398"] I fly with mine to Houston monthly. I'm always on Southwest but I'm sure most are similar. When checking my bag I simply state "I need to claim a firearm"... I have the gun in a lockable case, unloaded, with padlocks on it (per SW policy), and the agent will fill out a small card and have you put basic info on it and sign it. They then have you open your suit case, usually have you open your gun padlocks and case to check that it is unloaded, then lock it back up and tape the card or lay the card on top of the gun case. Zip the luggage back up and you are on your merry way. I did have one agent put my card inside my gun case once, and I was drug down on the tarmac under the terminal in OKC and made to open my gun case in front of about 10 TSA agents... they thought I had transported the gun without claiming it until the saw the card inside. They politely let me go and the agent escorting me back said the ticketing lady would be fined for doing that when I checked it... [/QUOTE]
