OK, so in about 6 months the wife and I are flying to Tucson for my B-I-L's wedding. I'm scheduled to return by air on that same sunday buuttttt....... I have also been given the go ahead for a rst free project that has 8 pistons and pushrods, powering the rear wheels. So it looks like I'm going to be making a 1700 mile trip home alone in something 20+ years old.
So, with that said, yes, I cold check a bag with my EDC on the plane, bt after Ft Laderdale, there may be some new restrictions or flat out refusal to allow this. My question is, can I ship my handgun to myself in another state? Ship with a guaranteed arrival date so I would be there to sign for it? what carrier allows this? Can I also ship the ammo/mags etc?
If not, what are the current requirements for checked bag firearms? The only two states I would have issues with are Illinoid and NM. NM I can take a swing p through Colorado and completely bypass. IL would obviously require a disarm and stowage/locked away for the 2 hours to cross.
