I've heard stories of this. The answer is to go to the baggage service office (if you have a gun in your luggage, it will be there with most airlines anyway...but not Southwest) and work with them to make sure it gets on your connecting flight without out taking possession of the bag. Yes, it will suck if you have to stay in that city overnight but by leaving it in the hands of the airlines it is their problem. I try to avoid NY, MA and NJ if at all possible. Cali has never been an issue (I can carry there lawfully) but even if I could not, in hundreds of trips in and out of airports there it would never have been a problem.I didn't read all the posts, but wanted to mention. If you are making a connecting flight into an airport in a state, where your firearm is considered banned, you might want to reroute thru a gun friendly state. if you were to get delayed, cancelled etc. and forced to pick up your luggage in a state where your firearm is considered illegal, i am not sure of the consequences.
