[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 838116, member: 39764"] Requirements vary from carrier to carrier and air terminal to air terminal btw. Always however, check in your firearm prior to your luggage to avoid hassles. TSA is very particular about firearm transportation. We should all be Federal agents... They can carry on their firearms (at least handguns). I have a good friend who is a Federal Agent. He always has his H&K on his person, on any flight....... My take on a Pelican is again, if you are only making one trip, buy the case you can resell and thats a Pelican. The Plano will be yours forever. I use the TSA cheapie locks because I insure my firearms for ACV all the time, anywhere. Whether it's locked in the case with a good lock or a cheapo TSA approved lock, lost is lost and the case integrety is what secures the firearm, not the locks and, more importantly, some carriers and some terminals don't allow non-TSA approved locks on a gun case. Baggage jockeys care less about baggage and handle it accordingly. Been there done that. Basically, you intrust your possessions to a bunch of employees who have no compunction about playing football with your stuff.......:) BTW, Pelican makes some dandy pistol cases, have a couple of those as well. If Pelican is good enough for the USMC, it's good enough for me.... [/QUOTE]
