Help me out, gunnies. I’m going to be flying with my guns for the first time. I’ve read the TSA regs and know the rules and all of that. I’m transporting my M&P and a J-Frame. I’d like to make sure that they don’t get stolen. I’ve got two competing strategies:
1) Get a small case like this and go incognito. Nothing screaming “gun” or even “something valuable.” Can be placed in regular checked luggage. Downside: easier to conceal if you wanted to walk off with it.
2) Go with a larger locking Pelican case, checked by itself as a standalone “bag”. Bigger, difficult to hide, better security. Downside: Advertises “something valuable” if nothing else.
What do you think, Internet? If you travel with your guns, I’d love to get some feedback.

You can (I think) fedex guns to yourself in other states addressed as
Your Name C.O. Person at destination. Given Seattles horrible reputation for theft it might be a better option.
Thanks, Eriko. I’ve thought about that as well. I have someone I can ship to at my destination. Not sure FedEx is any better, though. 
I’m with Eriko. I trust Fed Ex much more than baggage handlers. Plus you can get a tracking number. I’d imagine you could probably insure the shipment too.
Tell me what you're thinking...
