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.

JALLEN brings up an important point on magazines and 'gun parts'. However, on this trip, my holster was in my carry-on and I had no issue.

Just flew from GRK to PBI and back. In TX was told to wait about 20 minutes before going the security to see if TSA needed me to open my bag. In FL was asked to wait around for a short time until my checked bag was 'cleared' by TSA. The ticket agent--American--actually made a call and verify that there were no problems with the bag and personally notified me that I could go ahead and go through security. My weapon, with the ammo in an original container, was in a nano-vault with the security cable looped through the frame of my roll-about bag.

My only problem was having to pay $25 each way to check my bag. But that is a rant for another thread.
