Re: PSA on flying with a rifle case and TSA locks

This is a reprint of the law. look at section 2 iv below. I suggest you print a copy directly from the CFRs and carry it with you. I've needed to show it to the TSA agents once in Raleigh, NC. eCFR:: 49 § 1540.111 Carriage of weapons, explosives, and incendiaries by individuals. (a) On an individual...

Re: PSA on flying with a rifle case and TSA locks

Federal law states that only the OWNER can possess the key or combination to the gun container. Never use TSA locks. Hang around the check in desk and the TSA will contact you if necessary. Also make sure your cell phone number is on the gun case somewhere. I just use a regular ID tag with a card in...

Re: Florida man arrested after attempting to bring gun into Disney park

We've also been on a bunch of cruises. Have 2 more booked. Prefer the 7-10 day cruises. Been on short ones and one for 12 days. All enjoyable. We Always book balcony cabins. Relaxing there with a margarita (and a drink) watching the sunset is great!

Re: Longest distance you had to qualify at?

I liked my P2000 too. Always shot max potential with it (150 pts). I'd have bought it when I retired if I could have. Thanks to Slick Willie I couldn't. As for the reduction of qual shots from 75 to 30, I agree that it was to help the "lowest common denominator", but they started getting R...

Re: Longest distance you had to qualify at?

IIRC our longest distance on the old INS/Border Patrol 72 round qual was 25 yards. That was with the Beretta 96D .40. Max score possible was 360 points. We had to shoot that course of fire every quarter until the creation of DHS when it was reduced to the old Customs qual of 30 rounds/150 points at ...
