Is there a way to fly my handgun to Idaho?

In a couple of weeks I have to go to Boise. I will be flying out of Houston (IAH), stopover in Denver, then on to Bosie (BOI).

Handgun equipment/technique questions from Newbie

First let me say that I am new to the world of short guns and as such have several novice questions.

I am shooting a XDM .40 w/3.8" barrel; it is my carry/home/soon-to-be CHL gun.

I normally shoot a nice tight group with the factory sights. Then I thought that I might be better served if I ...
