Of course, I am using the term "bullets" in the correct technical sense, as they were not loaded cartridges. Just some 230 gr .45 FMJ bullets.

I recounted the story [urlhttp://www.texaschlforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=58916[/url].

That was about the best it will get. The gatekeepers at San Antonio Airport seemed almost like it was a routine occurrence. I was sure glad it didn't happen in San Diego!! Those idiots, who missed it outbound, would have hit the panic button for sure! I didn't miss my flight, partly because we were there plenty early, but the FAA did demand $200 to forget about it. I'm sure I am on a list somewhere now.

I know of several who have left pistols in bags, etc., inadvertence, but very costly. It is not something you want to be casual about.

Get on the airline website and read the policies. Print it out and carry it with you for reference. Comply exactly.

I've flown dozens of times with pistols and only one problem, the time I didn't take a pistol but left 3 loaded magazines in my carry on. That was costly. You can find the account in the archives of past months.
