All,
I am flying from AZ to FL next week and will be going armed (when am I NOT armed). I could use some practical been there done that advice - the last time I flew was to PA and I went unarmed like an idiot (though I did have a piece there).
My understanding is that the pistol has to have the slide disassembled from the frame in a locked case. That locked case must then be in a locked check-in and declared at the desk, obviously. So that's two locks, two keys.
But what about mags? I need my mag and two spares, plus my IWB holster and spare mag carrier. Can those go in the Kimber case, in the same bag, or do I need to carry another carry-on just for the mags and provide another two locks?
Also, do I need to completely field strip the pistol, or can I leave the slide intact and just separate it from the frame and leave the take down pin in the Kimber case?
How much longer does it take to check in with a piece in your carry-on stuff? I am flying Delta there and back, if that makes any difference.
Any experiences, links, advice, etc would be appreciated very much!
(And I give a damn about reciprocity with AZ and FL. I'm not going anywhere once there, so I won't be taking in the sights armed or anything. Just visiting a friend).
