You mean.... you recently sent your sister-in-law some money for St Patrick's day. You don't know what she used it for, but... completely unrelated... she did mention she has a carry you can borrow while you're there visiting(?)I gifted my sister-in-law some funds.... (not quoted allowing for edit)
Be CAREFUL here. They do x-ray the bags. If they (TSA) see what they even think is a gun, they open the bag. If they find a gun you are going to find it was FAR from being worth trying to fly with it not declared.Seems like it doesn't pay to declare a firearm in your baggage, cause firearm and luggage disappear…
What airline?The last time I flew into PDX with a pistol, I arrived at baggage claim expecting to have to present ID to retrieve my luggage. Nope. Sitting off by itself near the luggage carousel, big old orange? sticker declaring a firearm inside....
How long ago?? They long ago were supposed to stop using those "steal me" stickers for just this reason.The last time I flew into PDX with a pistol, I arrived at baggage claim expecting to have to present ID to retrieve my luggage. Nope. Sitting off by itself near the luggage carousel, big old orange? sticker declaring a firearm inside....
As asked above, what airline and how long ago? In the past decade I've flown American, Alaska, US Airways, Southwest, United, Delta and Virgin with firearms and not had the dreaded outside-the-case firearms sticker. About one out of every 20 flights with American, the bag, marked return to BSO, will end up on the carousel instead by accident. Usually in busy airports.The last time I flew into PDX with a pistol, I arrived at baggage claim expecting to have to present ID to retrieve my luggage. Nope.

Bad news if you don't and they catch you. I know an officer who "forgot" and while he was talking with another officer friend of his that worked at the airport, his friend got the call on the radio that someone didn't declare a firearm. Oops, bet that was embarrassing; it cost him many thousands of dollars in civil fines.Seems like it doesn't pay to declare a firearm in your baggage, cause firearm and luggage disappear…
Yep, they do, and it is (or was anyway) about a 3 day delay if you were found to have an undeclared firearm.They do x-ray the bags.
It's no big deal cuz around here Alaska just leaves the cargo doors open which sprinkles guns and bags randomly throughout the trip on unexpecting people below.Yep, they do, and it is (or was anyway) about a 3 day delay if you were found to have an undeclared firearm.
I once knew a person who worked the baggage check in at the Redmond, OR airport and he 'found' at least 3 guns during his time - one an FBI agent.
One of them, a guy actually set a rifle case (with rifle inside) with his luggage. Needless to say how that worked out.
