Tried to check it and was arrested at LaGuardia. His lawyer said that he didn’t know that it was illegal to take to the airport and transport. He tried to check it and not carry it on.
You pre-ship it to a location, or travel with it in an approved case for the airlines.I know it's not a hunting gun, although it could be, as I know a guy who only hunts with a pistol. But how do you take your gun on a hunting trip if it's not legal?

according to the article, that is what he did. it states that he was checking it and told someone with the airline, that he had it. They called security and found it in his to be checked luggage locked in a strong box of some type. maybe you can't just show up. I see when I check into United there is a place to declare a firearm.It is legal, but there are protocols. You need to arrive early, declare the firearm, have it locked in an approved case, and check it.
It's definitely strange. Something in the article isn't clear to describe why he was arrested. The protocols to fly with a firearm are well-established.according to the article, that is what he did. it states that he was checking it and told someone with the airline, that he had it.

I agree. if the article is correct, it would seem the airline officials and officers over reacted. I'll be the charges are dropped this week.It's definitely strange. Something in the article isn't clear to describe why he was arrested. The protocols to fly with a firearm are well-established.
