The in the know poster does have up to date info but on that airline.
Again I point out your traveling through multiple venues,assorted agencies,airports and police jurisdictions.(Our own airport is a classic case in point.In the county,Airport coppers are a separate city agency deputized under county police. The airlines and TSA also have authority. If the flight is delayed you sit where? Sometimes the luggage is boarded on a different flight to same destination actually arrives ahead of you. Where does it sit waiting for you?)
I have been there done that it sucked.Write the report on the lost weapon.File it with the correct LEO agency. Have them forward a copy to your Lt. Oh wait this happened in Denver on a connecting flight,you find out in LA. On a lost firearm everyone wants to see you in person.Forget your trip.
I say do what you want. But I UPS ship the weapon to my self at destination reverse when I go home. By law UPS is only shipper to send guns and ammo .They individually track the package from point to point and insure it. You must show ID(badge) at UPS office. I have never had a problem.
Always plan ahead,always plan for top three possible screw ups to occur.(Nothing will happen,but when you don't plan it all goes to the toilet with no paper)
BTW who says the "unarmed/no weapons trained" TSA people(no offence) know anything about firearm safety?
Also where, generally for reference only, are you going?
