As the title says. We are flying out of Love Field on Southwest into Atlanta. We are then driving from Atlanta to Hilton Head South Carolina. Texas CHL shares reciprocity with both Georgia and South Carolina. I would prefer to travel with my EDC. I have read the TSA guidelines, but would like some first hand experience if anyone has any!

Ammo must be in the factory boxes. Mags can not be loaded. Must be transported in a locked case and you have to let them inspect it. Do not use a TSA spec lock or your shit will get stolen. I use a pelican case and a pair of master set your own combo square brass locks on each case.

They check it, you lock it, you keep the key.Comment

I hadn't thought about that with TSA locks. My fiance read the package tonight and mentioned they would have a key for the lock. Time to go buy different locks.Originally posted by svo855 View Post
As for ammo being in the factory box. Unless I misread the TSA stuff. It said that ammo could be loaded in magazines and secured inside of the case.Originally posted by LeahComment

He's right. I've done it numerous times. No biggie. TSA will inspect to make sure your ammo and gun are compliant and put a slip in the case and watch you lock it.Comment

Who is right? Lol.Originally posted by Denny View Post
How about the ammo? OK in magazine in locked box with gun, or better off in factory box in checked luggage?Originally posted by LeahComment

I always put my ammo in my checked luggage, as I do believe that they have to be completely separate from the gun(s). I don't recall the factory box thing though. So that the inspection goes quickly, I put a gun lock through the mag well and out the ejection port, so that they are clearly locked and out of battery. This isn't a requisite, just my extra little precaution against an overzealous TSA agent, or freaked out airline employee.Originally posted by black2002ls View PostComment

Mags can be full, and stored with the gun apparently, just not in it of course. Ammo doesn't necessarily have to be in the "factory" box," but it can't be in a bag loose, the way I read it.Originally posted by black2002ls View Post

I always keep the firearm and ammo (in factory boxes) in the same locked case.Comment

I always had mine loaded, on fire, and in my holster when I flew with it. I also had my m4 too, and my benchmade.Comment
