Flying with firearms may be a necessity if you are an avid shooter or hunter. By learning more about the concealed weapon guidelines from both the TSA and the airline, you can ensure that you are not left at the check-in counter or security checkpoint.
2. Hunters
and
avid
shooters
o5en
find
that
they
are
faced
with
the
situa:on
of
flying
with
a
firearm.
3. By
understanding
the
regula:ons
and
guidelines,
flying
with
firearms
may
not
be
as
difficult
as
you
may
think.
4. The
Transporta:on
Safety
Administra:on
(TSA)
gives
detailed
guidelines
regarding
what
firearms
and
firearm
supplies
you
can
travel
with,
as
well
as
how
they
need
to
be
transported.
5. Read
the
guidelines
and
make
sure
you
understand
them
completely.
It
could
even
be
helpful
to
carry
a
copy
with
you
when
you
fly.
Firearms
must
be
declared
to
the
TSA
agent
and
be
transported
unloaded
in
a
hard
case
with
a
lock.
6. Keep
in
mind
that
airlines
may
have
restric:ons
as
well.
Call
your
airline
if
you
have
concerns
or
if
you
are
not
able
to
locate
their
guidelines
online.

8. There
are
no
federal
limits
on
the
amount
of
ammuni:on
that
you
can
check
in
at
the
airport.
However,
your
airline
may
have
a
limit
that
can
be
checked.
9. Ammuni:on
and
guns
can
be
transported
together
in
the
same
hard
sided,
locked
case.
10. Reloaded
ammuni:on
can
be
transported,
as
long
as
it
is
in
a
cardboard,

plas:c,
or
wood
box
for
shipping.
11. There
is
no
federal

the
number

be
carried
in
your
carry-‐on

Airlines
may
prohibit
it,
however,
which
is
why
you
want
to
consider
the
airline’s
guidelines,
too.
