Hey, (first post woot!) So i have a question on flying with guns. First, here is my situation. I just recently (within the week) got my Firearm Purchasing ID Card for New Jersey. Now this winter break i intend on going home to visit the family, which entails flying to California, then Arizona, then back to New jersey. The plan is, while in Arizona, to go gun shopping, then fly back to New Jersey with it. The reason is because my mom agreed to go shooting (shes in Arizona) and the last thing i want to do is buy a gun in New Jersey and try to travel in California with it. Now i dont mind waiting to buy the gun, i do however want to minimize the number of times i get tackled by TSA. I did my research, both on this site and off, and i found this old thread and this site online. Basically what i got from them was this: Gun should be locked in a hard case to which only you have access unloaded Ammunition should be stored in original box separate from firearm under 11lbs Procedure at airport go to check in counter (no carry on) give bag to attendant, claiming a firearm show firearm and that its unloaded re-lock and sign appropriate papers Basically my question is, does this cover everything? and for the record, i just genuinely want to travel with a firearm, this isnt me attempting to bypass NJ laws, i wouldnt be going all the way to Arizona for that haha
