| I gotta fly in three hours! Family emergency. I've got my Glock in a locking case. Can the ammo be with it? Need help! |
I have never carried a pistol on to an airplane, but the few times I have taken a rifle or shotgun the airline would not let me take ANY ammo. Had to buy ammo when I got there to hunt. They are probably going to be even more anal about a hand gun. If they do let you take ammo, I seriously doubt it will be able to go in the same case. Good luck. I hope everything works out. |
Assuming they let you take a handgun on the plane. i would think it is enough. When I have gone on hunting trips, I used one of those cheep-ass walmart cases with a small pad lock. It was just enough to keep an honest man out. |

I've done it several times. Under 11 pounds of ammo in the original box in a hard locked case. They probably won't even look. You'll have to sign a red tag and put it inside the case. ETA - As soon as you set the case down on the scale, tell them it's a pistol case. |
Everything went real smooth, almost too smooth. They allowed my case and a 50 rd box of ammo in the case without any hiccups or people freaking out. God bless Texans! When I got to Phoenix though, the luggage carousel was ten feet from the exit and there was no baggage claim checks or anything. Anyone could have walked off with my bag. Luckily, they hadn't tagged it as containing a firearm. Thanks for all the help guys!
