Why does it feel like we’re writing and running out of time regarding firearms in a carry-on? We understand you want to raise a glass to freedom, but please pack your gun accordingly. We want a movement, not a moment where people take this seriously. The plan is to fan this spark into a flame of understanding.

We’re past patiently waiting; we’re passionately stating our expectations. Can we agree dueling with us on this topic could be costly (up to 13,000 if let in your carry-on)? You’ll be the one complaining when you get fined, and no don’t change the subject, because prohibited items is our favorite subject.

While we’re talking, let us offer you some free advice, declare your piece with your airline. Don’t brag, but dag, it will simply amaze and astonish us if the firearm is packed properly in a hard-sided lockable container. The locked case can be in a checked bag or as a stand-alone case. We stand by what we say, every bit of it, we stand for proper packaging, we won’t apologize.

Look around, look around at how lucky you are to have our friends at AskTSA. Facebook, Twitter, hit em fast, get your travel answers quick. You’ve got to be on the platform where it happens. Weekdays 8am - 8pm Eastern, weekends and holidays 9am – 7pm Eastern.
