I fly with guns at least 5 times a year. My 2 best pieces of advice are to get a lock for every hole and to absolutely make sure they put that piece of paper with your signature in the case with your guns. They say to make sure there is a lock on every hole but I’ve only seen it enforced a handful of times. One time in Washington the baggage guy tried to pry open my case to prove a point that my case didn’t have enough locks even though there was one for every hole. He made me buy extra locks and duct tape the case… as for the slip of paper, I have heard horror stories from friends about TSA not seeing the slip and confiscating the guns because they weren’t checked in properly. I had to tell the new baggage lady at MSY last year how to do it because she almost forgot mine.
Oh, and don’t skimp on a shitty case. I’m convinced they try extra hard to break your stuff because they know they are guns. I have seen them crack Pelican cases before and I consider those good.
