It has been 5 or 6 years since I travelled by air with a handgun. I will be flying from Birmingham, Alabama to Las Vegas, then will immediately leave LV and drive to Grand Canyon, the national parks in Utah, and finally to Denver where I will fly home. I am familiar with the rules regarding guns in National Parks, but less familiar with traveling by air with a handgun.
Last time I traveled by air with a handgun, I had the unloaded gun in a locked case which was placed inside my suitcase. I remember I had the ammo in a factory box, but don't remember if it was in the locked case with gun or just packed separately in the suitcase.
I don't remember there being anything special I had to do when I got to my destination, other than pick up the suitcase in baggage claim. Do bags with guns inside them just go to the main baggage claim or are they picked up separately elsewhere?
Anything in particular about flying with a handgun from Birmingham, or picking it up in LV that I need to be aware of? How about Denver?
Thanks
