Transporting guns via airline

Karl · 01-16-2013, 09:46 AM

I am going to the Louisville “Show of Shows” in March, my first big gun show, and I have questions about transporting guns via airline. For a long gun purchase I plan to buy a cheap plastic case at the show and check it as baggage on my return flight. For handgun purchases I though I might put them in my carry-on bag and check it as baggage on the return flight. I understand that I can't put a lock on baggage and that concerns me. Any advise or experiences?
