A TSA official walks us through how to properly pack a firearm in your luggage.

Check to see if it's unloaded. Fails to check the chamber, the most important part. Last time I brought my firearm there was a sign on the airport door that said "No Weapons" so I asked a cop standing there how I was supposed to get to the check in counter to check my firearm. He said "That's an interesting question" and told me to just go in.

Agreed, although it may be a prop firearm, it's rule #1.

TSA website says locks are not to be TSA approved locks so the case can only opened in your presence. I believe it also says it can’t be the original box the firearm came in. Different airlines have different rules. Delta allows the magazines to be loaded if not in the pistol. American wants the ammo in the original box and magazines empty.

Well done and a good reminder.
