As Jeepnik does I also airline travel with an inexpensive gun. Mine is a KelTek P11. The 10 round capacity is also legal everywhere.
Direct Flight!So hypothetical…you’ve done everything correctly but your flight is diverted due to weather or other reason and you end up with a layover or overnight in a place that does not have reciprocity to your license or even more ridiculous handgun laws. Would you take possession of your bag or let it go “round and round”.
Low odds of course, but I’m curious how some of you more frequent fliers might manage this. Are there rules in place from some forethought during creation or would this be a total gray area.
were in Aloha are you going! I can give you tips!Thanks for the responses. We had a change in plans in that we found a deal we can't pass up to go to Hawaii. I can't carry there so I won't be bringing a gun.

100%! tell them it’s your airport and your responsibility! rather lose a gun then get arrested. Got plenty more guns to replace it!If you get diverted to a no go state, DO NOT PICK UP YOUR BAG! Notify the airline and let them deal with it. Picking up the bag subjects you to arrest.
Direct Flight!
another thing I’m doing is Leaving a Gun in my area I travel to alot. Thanks way, if I’m in a rush, I just GO!
they won’t lose you gun at the Airport. They track everything with Ai and Machine LearningWell, THANK YOU VERY MUCH for radically increasing my gun ownership needs and expenses!
Let's see now...family, friends, and business friends in Kentucky, Texas, Indiana, Ohio, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Washington, California, Hawaii...and I'm sure I missed a few there.
Let's round that up to an even 20 states, just because. That's at least 20 1911 style handguns (preferred carry) and a selection of suitable hunting rifles. And let's not forget a stash of ammunition in each state.
Next thing you know, we're talking REAL money, here!
Seriously, though...in addition to my own personal fear of losing a firearm while flying (because it's frickin' magic how luggage makes it anywhere in the first place), there's the re-routing fear. I've been rerouted before and I certainly don't want to end up some place where the laws would hang me out to dry over something stupid because I made a mistake in handling/possessing while there.

most of us here chiming in have traveled extensively with guns through the airport. Tpur Holiday will be fine.Thank you and this is the answer to my question. There are many posts on how to go about air travel but this is a nuance that I’m interested in hearing about anyones personal experience.. I’d hate to have a family vacation ruined or hung up because of this.

that’s why you should have guns in different destinations!Hmmm...just ran across something totally relevant to this suggestion.
Leaving a gun in one's area of travel runs afoul of federal law (the GCA of 1968) if it involves crossing state lines.
This is because the GCA of 68 talks about transfer as POSSESSION, not OWNERSHIP. So giving someone in another state one of your guns to store for you could present a problem legally, depending on how you do this.
Now, if the gun is locked and the person storing it for you does not have possession of the key/combination, that would be an argument against possession, because they don't have access to it for use.
I don't want to hijack this thread away from it's purpose (air travel with firearms), so I'll post a link to a comment which talks about this in another thread:
