0286 – If You are a Shooter, Check Your Carry-On Bags When You Travel

March 28, 2012 by PaulCarlson 3 Comments

I’ve talked quite a bit in the past about air travel with firearms. It is a practice that I engage in often. If my destination is a gun friendly place I take my pistols. This is true if I am traveling for business or for pleasure. It is never a requirement for me to have a gun. Even when I am teaching, a friend, family member, host or student typically has a spare that they are willing to loan me for the duration of my stay for carry and for use on the range if need be. None the less, I like to carry my own. So, sometimes, I don’t travel with a gun when I fly. When you are a shooter, and you fly whether you take your guns or not you need to pay particularly close attention to your carry on bags.

Air Travel With Firearms

January 15, 2012 by PaulCarlson Leave a Comment

Right now I am sitting at the gate waiting to catch the first leg of my trip out to SHOT Show! Before leaving, I took a few minutes to shoot a video to show how it is that I set up my suit case to travel by air with my firearms. It used to be a pretty daunting task for me to check my guns, but I have become pretty comfortable with the process over the years. All it takes is some research, a little bit of preperation, some planning ahead, a sense of humor and a bit of extra time and flying with guns can be a piece of cake.

Take a look at the video and next time you take to the friendly skies, bring your blasters with you!
