So, packed for the Gun Blogger Rendezvous. In my bags:

1 AR-15 in 9mm
1 Kel-Tec 380
400 rounds of ammo
Four copies of In Search of The Second Amendment
Hat that says ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ.
I’m totally getting searched.

Not to worry! Just tell ’em you’ve already cleared it with Mr. Completely.
They should let you right through…………
….. Mr. C.
See you in Reno!

Just wait until I tell you my story…

Your bags will certainly be inspected (gun powder residue and explosive residue are apparently very similar, so they like to check for any bowling balls with candles stuck in them along with the guns) but it’ll probably be pretty pleasant. Mine always have been. Sure, it’s a small sample, but think about it:
1) This is the most fun that TSA guy is going to have all day.
2) You’ve already declared them, so it’s not like it’s a scary surprise.
3) People tend to play nice when you loudly proclaim in a public space that you’ve got bags full of guns.

You might want to think about getting a cable type bike lock and locking the Kel-Tec to one of the long rifles.
I’ve not flown much since 9/11, but my understanding is that although the airline people can’t attach a tag to the bag that says “firearm”, there’s nothing keeping them from adding a tag that says “FFFFFFFFFFF”
The bike lock might keep a bad baggage handler from stuffing the Kel-Tec in his pants.

Yeah just flew with a gun for the first time last weekend. No ammo, but I’m currently reading “Point of Impact” with the lame “Shooter” cover on it.
No issues.
On a side note, I tied a pink ribbon on my pistol case, it suddenly looked like John Edward’s makeup kit!

Have a lot of fun.
Is the 6.8 a new acquisition?
October 11th, 2007 at 10:08 am
Don’t think you can fly with ammo.

They have been stealing guns in Nashville like mad. I’d lock everything together twice!

Sorry- thats: the TSA or the airline folks have been stealing guns at the airport in Nashville like mad lately.

chris, where have you been? The 6.8 is a demo from Tim Hicks at Ko-Tonics.
Uncle, if you want to get searched, just make sure your ticket is one-way.

Bah. Here is to you all having fun, and not spending too much time at the airport.

Yes! You, Mr. “free” American Citizen, need to be searched thoroughly, detained and investigated, but our borders are open and our government is importing Islam from terrorist-friendly countries.
The traitors and tyrants are in charge!
RESTORE the Constitution and Bill of Rights!!!

You forgot your “I Vote From the Rooftops” shirt.

“You forgot your “I Vote From the Rooftops” shirt.”
ROTFL!
Me, I’m going hunting. Next year have the darn rendezvous at some other time of year!

Have fun at the Rendezvous!
But it looks like you forgot to pack some petroleum jelly to make the searches go easier.

You can fly with ammo — depends on the airline how it’s packed though. Maximum 11 pounds per TSA, but some airlines interpret that at 11 pounds total and some at 11 pounds per checked bag.

“400 rounds of ammo”
What are you going to do after the first hour? 😉
