Travel by air this weekend. Had an unloaded revolver in a hard shell travel case, padlocked. Ammo was also in the case. Revolver also had a trigger lock.
Airline agents didn't bat an eye when I stated at the ticket counter(s) that I had an UNLOADED FIREARM to check. They handed me the orange tag, asked me to sign it and place in the case, and to relock the case, and bring over to TSA.
Only delay was at DCA where TSA had to locate the agent to confirm that orange tag was placed in hard case.
On both departure and return flight, TSA agents gave a "thumbs up" following scan, and said have a good trip.
They were very professional; none of the inconsistency (at smaller airports) that I have experienced in the past.
