Krdshrk 3,877 Posted April 5, 2015 It was desolate. We had probably a 1/4 of the plane empty And that's your reason why. My flight was booked solid. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
planenut 60 Posted April 9, 2015 Mind if I ask what the rules are regarding ammunition? Is it even allowed to be checked on a flight? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
checko 180 Posted April 9, 2015 Yes can be checked. Must be in a container of some sort. Easiest to use manufacturers boxes Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe they request that you keep the ammo separate from the firearm, so elsewhere in your suitcase. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can pack ammo in the same locking case. This is another area that’s misunderstood and full of internet myth. Your ammo just needs to be stored in some type of safe container and not loose. Technically, you can keep ammunition in magazines, but I wouldn’t recommend it. It meets the letter of the law storage requirement, but too many airline and TSA agents will give you grief. Use a plastic ammo box or original cardboard packaging and you’ll be fine carrying that in the same lockable case as your gun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PK90 3,570 Posted April 9, 2015 I always kept the ammo in an MTM case in the same locked case as the pistol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Junior 14 Posted June 6, 2015 Flew out of Newark today with my gun. No issues at all. Everyone at United was very professional about it. Thanks to this thread I knew how to pack it and It added maybe 15 minutes overall to my time spent at the check in counter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mipafox 438 Posted November 16, 2015 You guys are apparently young or unworldly. My first trip to Europe in the 70s they pointed SMGs at the ready and pushed my Teddy Bear through the circular ring of a hand-held metal detector of 70s SOTA tech.
