How To Fly With A Gun On An Airline


While the hassle involved with airline travel seems to be getting worse and worse each day, flying with a gun actually isn’t as complicated as you would think. There is a right and a wrong way to do it though.

Today I’m going to talk about how to fly with a gun on an airline without breaking the law or otherwise getting into trouble. I’ll also cover some different things you’ll need to keep in mind depending on whether your final destination is within the United States or if you’ll be traveling to another country.
