Transporting Firearms and Ammunition
Firearms, ammunition and firearm parts may only be transported
in checked baggage. Firearms, ammunition and firearm parts
are prohibited from carry-on baggage.
There are certain limited exceptions for law enforcement officers
(LEOs) who are authorized to fly armed by meeting the requirements
of 49 CFR § 1544.219.
Following is a summary of key regulatory requirements to transport
firearms, firearm parts or ammunition in checked baggage:
All firearms must be declared to the air carrier during the
ticket counter check-in process.
The firearm must be unloaded.
The firearm must be carried in a hard-sided container.
The container must be locked.
It is preferred that the passenger provide the key or combination
to the screener if it is necessary to open the container,
and then remain present during screening to take back possession
of the key after the container is cleared. If you are not
present and the screener must open the container, the TSA
and/or airline will make a reasonable attempt to contact the
passenger. If this is unsuccessful, the container will not
be placed on the plane since unlocked gun cases (or cases
with broken locks) are not permitted on aircraft due to Federal
regulations.
Black powder and percussion caps used with black-powder type
firearms are not permitted in carry-on or checked baggage.
Air carriers may have their own additional requirements on
the carriage of firearms and the amount of ammunition an individual
may place in checked baggage. Therefore, travelers should
also contact the air carrier regarding its firearm and ammunition
carriage policies.

How do I transport firearms and ammunition?
Firearms, ammunition and firearm parts may only be transported
in checked baggage. Firearms, ammunition and firearm parts
are prohibited from carry-on baggage.
There are certain limited exceptions for law enforcement officers
(LEOs) who are authorized to fly armed by meeting the requirements
of 49 CFR § 1544.219.
Following is a summary of key regulatory requirements to transport
firearms, firearm parts or ammunition in checked baggage:
• All firearms must be declared to the air carrier during
the ticket counter check-in process.
• The firearm must be unloaded.
|
•
Firearms must be packed in a hard-sided, locked container
specifically designed for the firearm or in a hard-sided gun
case.
• The passenger must provide the key or combination
to the screener if it is necessary to open the container,
and then remain present during screening to take back possession
of the key after the container is cleared.
• Any ammunition transported must be securely packed
in fiber (such as cardboard), wood or metal boxes or other
packaging specifically designed to carry small amounts of
ammunition.
• Firearm magazines/clips do not satisfy the packaging
requirement unless they provide a complete and secure enclosure
of the ammunition (e.g., by securely covering the exposed
portions of the magazine or by securely placing the magazine
in a pouch, holder, holster or lanyard).
• The ammunition may also be located in the same hard-sided
case as the firearm, as long as it is properly packed as described
above.
• Black powder and percussion caps used with black-powder
type firearms are not permitted in carry-on or checked baggage.
The regulations are strictly enforced. Violations can result
in criminal prosecution and the imposition of civil penalties
of up to $10,000 per violation.

• Customers are responsible for knowing and following
the firearms laws of the state(s) that they will be traveling
to, from, and through.
• Our Customers must declare the gun to the Customer
Service Agent at the ticket counter (no firearms will be accepted
curbside) and prove that the firearm(s) chambers are free
of ammunition and the magazine clip has been removed (when
applicable). Paint guns and BB guns are considered the same
as all other firearms.
• Firearms must be encased in a hard-sided, LOCKED container
that is of sufficient strength to withstand normal handling,
as follows:
1. A firearm in a hard-sided, locked container
may be placed inside a soft-sided, unlocked suitcase.
2. A firearm placed inside a hard-sided,
locked suitcase does not have to be encased in a container
manufactured for the transportation of firearms.
3. Only the Customer checking the luggage
should retain the key or combination to the lock. No exceptions
will be made.
• The Customer is entitled to check sporting firearms
in addition to his or her normal free baggage allowance. We
allow multiple firearms to be transported inside one hard-sided
case.

of sights on firearms, including those equipped with telescopic
sights.
