[QUOTE="50GI Jess, post: 1299842, member: 12029"] Ok, I better tell the full story my travel to Europe. First off I couldn't get any defined answer anywhere here in the US, before leaving. Just as backup, I went to my local police, which I shoot IDPA with by the way. They signed an affidavit, that I was the legal owner of the 2 guns I was bringning, and I could own them in my homestate without any permits. Not stolen etc. etc. I downloaded a custom form conserning regulated items, such as jewerly, computers, gun etc. Listed my 2 guns here, make, model, caliber SN # etc. Nobody from the local airport would sign anything, and TSA said that they woulnd't intefere with US Customs. I asked to get my luggage back when arriving at the international airport, which they said could NOT be honored. Once in transit, it remains in transit...I was told. Running through Atlanta airport to the customs area, in order not to miss my connecting flight, I tried to show them my earlier downloaded US customs form. They refused to sign it, because they would have to see the guns, in order to confirm it was the right ones etc. After some debating, I talked the shift leader into signing anyways, after showing my paperwork from the local police. Got on my plane just in time (last on board). This story is MUCH longer, but this is the short version. This system does NOT work at all, and the most irritating thing is that, they think it's userfriendly, secure and works perfect bla. bla. Allmost never got back into the US later, but thats a seperate story. This is the last time I'm ever going to travel outside the US with firearms. What are the official rules, form and procedures here....anybody Jess [/QUOTE]
