I've lost how many multitool pocket knives in my bags when travelling because I forgot I had it, even when I check my bags one ends up being discovered in some nook or cranny in a bag.
I have a hard time thinking I wouldn't be constantly mindful of the fact I had a gun on me, and would never pack one in a bag, but I'm not everybody and I have never carried everyday. There are parts of rural America and some cities where it is done as part of their every day carry and no one blinks an eye. So I could see it happening.
- MCRed 11y agoThe proper, legal way to transport a firearm while flying is in the bag. Last time I did it (this was before 2001 and the police state hysteria we're in now) all that you had to do was get a little sticker for the bags handle at the check in counter (they asked us to show that the gun was unloaded.) Not even a big deal. There is no history of guns leaping up, loading themselves and killing people.

This is still the case, post-2001. You bring the firearms in a locked, hard case and you show the gate agent that they are unloaded, then you lock the case in front of them and they put some stickers on it. The only sketchy part is, you have to take a firearm out in the ticket line to show it to the gate agent, who has a hazy-at-best understanding of whether that particular firearm is loaded or not.
