You can check a long gun case that's not enclosed inside a second case, so checking a pistol case that's locked inside other luggage that's locked with a TSA lock isn't a problem.ryanj wrote:Yeah, I don't know if I like that idea.

Pistol is usually in a locked NanoVault inside my suitcase. The suitcase has a TSA lock, but the NanoVault is a combination lock, so they cannot open without a bit of work. Ammo is kept outside of the gun in original factory box. Next month, I'm bringing a Pelican 1700 with my daughter's rifle, my carry pistol, and my wife's carry pistol. We're connecting through Chicago, but won't touch the case until we arrive in the Carolinas.
I'd rather put the case in and lock the whole suitcase with a regular brass padlock. It means I have to wait on TSA to screen the bag but that's actually good as it decreases the chances of theft as well.
