re: Question about flying/checking in a pistol

Yes you can do it but you need to tell the ticket counter when checking in. IT has to be in locked box. They will issue some type of receipt for it then you can put it in a checked bag. When you arrive, you present that receipt and claim it. My wife has done it recently with no problems. I might a detail or two wrong as I didn't fly with her, but she said it was really easy.
