So my job recently took me to Texas for a week and since I have a Utah CCW I started researching how to legally fly with a handgun. Surprisingly it was super easy. I went to BiMart and purchased a locking hard sided case and a small ammo box. Placed the gun without a magazine in the case, magazine beside the gun and the ammo box beside those. When I checked into Alaska they had me sign the duplicate form attesting I followed their rules, no one asked to inspect it and the TSA didn't hold me at gun point while my bags were searched by dogs.
Flying home from Houston was a little more complicated. Alaska grilled me on my locking case and reviewed each rule with me then the TSA pulled me aside and while my bag was being x-rayed. A very nice TSA person came out from a side door and said everything looked great.
As long as my next destination is CCW friendly I will from now on always fly with a handgun.
If you have any questions feel free to ask away.....
