[h=1]Transporting Firearms and Ammunition[/h] <nav class="links node-links clearfix"></nav>
You may transport unloaded firearms in a locked hard-sided container as checked baggage only. Declare the firearm and/or ammunition to the airline when checking your bag at the ticket counter. The container must completely secure the firearm from being accessed. Locked cases that can be easily opened are not permitted. Be aware that the container the firearm was in when purchased may not adequately secure the firearm when it is transported in checked baggage.
Contact the TSA Contact Center with questions you have regarding TSA firearm regulations and for clarification on what you may or may not transport in your carry-on or checked baggage.
[h=2]Firearms[/h]
  • When traveling, comply with the laws concerning possession of firearms as they vary by local, state and international governments.
  • Declare each firearm each time you present it for transport as checked baggage. Ask your airline about limitations or fees that may apply.
  • Firearms must be unloaded and locked in a hard-sided container and transported as checked baggage only. Only the passenger should retain the key or combination to the lock.
  • Firearm parts, including magazines, clips, bolts and firing pins, are prohibited in carry-on baggage, but may be transported in checked baggage.
  • Replica firearms, including firearm replicas that are toys, may be transported in checked baggage only.
  • Rifle scopes are permitted in carry-on and checked baggage.

United States Code, Title 18, Part 1, Chapter 44, firearm definitions includes: any weapon (including a starter gun) which will, or is designed to, or may readily be converted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive; the frame or receiver of any such weapon; any firearm muffler or firearm silencer; and any destructive device. As defined by 49 CFR 1540.5 a loaded firearm has a live round of ammunition, or any component thereof, in the chamber or cylinder or in a magazine inserted in the firearm.
[h=2]Ammunition[/h]
  • Ammunition is prohibited in carry-on baggage, but may be transported in checked baggage.
  • Firearm magazines and ammunition clips, whether loaded or empty, must be securely boxed or included within a hard-sided case containing an unloaded firearm. Read the requirements governing the transport of ammunition in checked baggage as defined by 49 CFR 175.10 (a)(8).
  • Small arms ammunition, including ammunition not exceeding .75 caliber and shotgun shells of any gauge, may be carried in the same hard-sided case as the firearm.

Read the guidelines for law enforcement officers flying armed.

when you get to your destination the luggage the gun/ammo is in is supposed to go to a different pickup location, it's not supposed to roll out with the other bags. maybe this airport doesn't do that.

Crazy.

My wife's cousin was flying into that airport today. He just texted he's still on the airplane. Insane.

My sister and her daughter left that area about 45 minutes before it happened. They had just flown in and she texted me about it after she heard about it. She said she was still shaking over it.

Not sure what they are showing on National TV, but here they have more than 3 layers of security coming Out of the Airport
You need to walk with your hands up, stopped, show ID, searched, walk, then stopped again, show ID, searched and asked questions, then Stopped and Searched again

People check guns all the time. People bring guns/rifles if they're going on a hunting trip for example

BAS, this is not Baiting. It's real talk. But I'll have to leave it at that.

Best to do so anyway cuz how many Months & Typed Words now have so many of us and others throughout Cyberspace invested in discussing The Obvious Problems and Obvious Threats? Pointless to do this again here as "handling" of such by our Society and Our World will go where it does. Unfortunately and so tragically the path before us paved with Liberals Stupid living in some fantasy world.

Millions of people world-wide share your feelings on these matters tho RunMaker and as you do these millions see clearly on the matter of Greatest Threats that loom and as such they do share your frustrations on this.

VIA CNN 4:40PM

Here's the latest on what we know:

• Five people are dead, and 13 injured people were transported to hospitals, Broward County Mayor Barbara Sharief told CNN.
• The gunman had a gun checked in his baggage and had declared the firearm, law enforcement sources told CNN.
• The suspect flew to Florida from Alaska, the sources said. When he arrived at the airport, he retrieved his bag at baggage claim, he took out the gun and started firing, the sources said. One source said he went to the bathroom to get the gun out of his luggage and emerged firing.
• Broward County Sheriff Steve Israel said the gunman likely acted alone. The sheriff said it was too early to say whether terrorism was the motive.
• Multiple reports on social media -- including tweets from former White House spokesman Ari Fleischer -- described the shooting.
Gene Messina told CNN he'd arrived at the airport as people were being evacuated from the terminal. "I got off the plane and I saw people running and screaming," he said. "At first I was in shock but when I saw TSA agents running, I booked."

• Investigators are looking into the gunman's motive, Sharief told CNN. Investigators haven't released his name or detailed the events leading up to the shooting.
• The shooting occurred in the baggage claim area of Terminal 2, officials said.


• Parts of the airport were evacuated. Aerial footage from CNN affiliates showed large groups of people standing outside on the tarmac.
• More than an hour after the shooting, but tensions were still running high, a witness told CNN. "Everyone sprinted outside again. We are back out on the tarmac," Judah Fernandez said, adding that it was unclear why people had rushed outside.

• The first call about the shooting came in at 12:55 p.m. ET, the Broward County Sheriff's Office said.
• Most flights scheduled to land at the airport will be delayed or diverted, the FAA said. The airport had not resumed operations by 4:30 p.m.

• In November 2016, nearly 2.5 million travelers passed through Fort Lauderdale's airport, according to a government report on the facility.
• There are four terminals at the airport, which ranks 21st in the US in terms of total passengers.
