Every time I fly mags loaded as long as its in a foam cut-out that holds them firmly. But is southwest airlines. With that said look it up to be sure what your airline you flying with and airport your flying out of. I usually i fly out of dallas
Great video. Many of us have never traveled with a firearm nor seen a previous video on the process. Questions: 1) Always in checked baggage? 2) Never send to an airport in a State with magazine restrictions where mere possession can get you tagged as a felon (like MD for example)?
Then you keep your firearm unloaded and inaccessible in its container and you simply don't carry it, and assuming you're following the laws of that locality. People travel throughout the country to shoot competitions and training classes, in destinations they're not licensed in and that don't recognize their CWL. They simply don't carry it concealed. They leave it locked in its case. FOPA laws apply. Always follow the destination laws regarding other things like mag capacity etc, however, to avoid an issue. But
so if i heard you right, you said to go to the ticket line/check in, then go to tsa, then go through security. My confusion comes in where normally without a gun you just go to check in then go through security. Normally you would check in luggage at the ticket counter. Is the ticket counter/check in where you are handing off the gun, or are you bringing it to a separate tsa desk that is not the same thing as security? normally i really only see tsa in the security area with all the scanners and everything, but maybe i just havent noticed an extra tsa area where you go to hand off special types of luggage's?
Each airline and airport handles this slightly differently. You go up to the ticket counter to check your luggage and inform them you are checking a firearm in your luggage and they'll instruct you properly from there. Sometimes this will be them directing you to a specific separate TSA area where an agent will have you unzip and open the luggage so they can inspect the firearm container to ensure you're following their rules. But sometimes it is handled right there.
I saw videos of people declaring firearms, then they traveled to New York and got arrested for carrying concealed as they went up to claim their luggage's. Yes, indeed know your laws and which states to carry them in, it's almost time to become, an attorney yourself lol.
I think you should have prefaced this video by stating that’s this is only applicable if you’re traveling in same state or region you have your cpl in.
This video is applicable to travel throughout the country, not only the sam state or region you're licensed in. This also technically applies to firearms you choose to travel with even if you're not licensed. You don't need a CWL to fly with your firearm checked in your luggage. You do however need to be cognizant of the other legalities of your destination, including mag restrictions etc.

Correct.
Do you lock the suitcase in any way?
What if you’re traveling to another state that your cpl is not valid? or recognized.
Obviously you can’t do it then

Yes, you must follow the laws of your destination as well to not run into an issue.
