Frequently Asked Questions

What are the basic steps for flying with a gun?

First, pack your unloaded firearm in a locked, hard-sided case. Declare the firearm to your airline agent at check-in, sign a declaration form, and then follow their instructions for baggage handling.

How should ammunition be packed when flying?

Ammunition must be packed separately from the firearm in an airtight container. This container should then be placed securely under foam padding within your locked, hard-sided firearm case.

Where do I retrieve my firearm after landing?

You typically do not collect your declared firearm from the standard baggage carousel. Instead, you'll usually need to go to a specific airline office or secure area to present identification and retrieve your weapon.

What information is needed for firearm declaration?

When declaring your firearm, you'll need to confirm it is unloaded and sign a declaration document provided by the airline. Be prepared to show the airline agent that the weapon is indeed unloaded.
