Flying down to St. Petersburg Florida end of January. Plan to bring my Sig P365 and Ruger LCP along. Might bring a rifle as well for a wild boar hunt.
Anyone here fly with pistols & or rifles? What do you use for a locking box?
Also anyone in that area want to meet for coffee or a beer?

I flew to and shot in 4 different states this year and made maybe 7 trips from Orlando to DFW with at least one firearm.
Thanks bud, will keep an eye out for it.
You can find them online at discounted pricing check out several of the sites for best pricing, and be sure to get the ones including the pick-apart foam.
I would suggest either yellow or orange cases so they stand out for pickup and are less likely to be "LOST" in some dark corner .
One other way to travel with a pistols on a flight is putting them individually into the small metal DOT approved travel "safes" [like Lockdown or Hornady] and put them inside an appropriate size Pelican case.
In my mind you can't be too careful when traveling with guns via air , baggage handlers and such seem to think everything they touch is indestructible .
If you need more firepower you can borrow my hog buster AR 50 or MR 50TG for the hunt.
If timing is right and you need a ride from the airport (Tampa) I?m about 20 minutes away.
Thanks man, I have rental car lined up. We're visiting Nephew in-law and staying in an airbnb. Haven't heard if we're going to hog hunt or not.
I like vacationing in states that recognize my Missouri CCW license. 2 hour flight or long as drive.
Also- I shoot at Gun Craft in Ruskin Fl on Wednesday nights, USPSA outlaw matchI could definitely loan you a Glock and a holster if Im around. Keep in touch- I would be up for a GB meet up. Dinner or drink or whatever.
Cheers-

After 10 years on military bases eating in Dinning Facilities - I'll eat just about anything.
And keep walking
Let me look at my schedule. I can probably get over there. The problem is I am taking a day of vacation on Friday to RO a GSSF match, then on vacation again the next wk flying to Baltimore for my brother’s Army retirement ceremony.
i’ll follow up.
did you get an IM from me when you posted this originally?
I would love to meet up for dinner but I have to work at Walt Disney World and Mickey won’t give me the night off. Have you decided if you are going to hog hunt ? There is some good hunting just north of Tampa.
Think we're heading your way - Disney Monday or Tuesday.
Was that on Facebook? Missed it. This is a real short trip so no worries.
Mark will do am on my phone and won't have access to that email later this evening.
To be clear. What you have stated is literally not true.
YES NYC takes pleasure in prosecuting people skirting their commie laws.
it is not true you must claim your checked bag. That is FALSE.
Also- I am willing to bet zero flights in the history of aviation traveling Orlando to Joplin, Mo or St. Luis, Mo have EVER been diverted to NYC.
