[QUOTE="cowboydoc, post: 1751466, member: 8065"] ^^^^This^^^^ I fly out of Tulsa once or twice every month, usually on American, and have never had a problem there. I have had only had issues twice at other airports - once with an airline agent, and the other a TSA officer. The airline agent (Delta, Norfolk airport) told me that I could not transport ammunition at all. Even after showing her the printed airline and TSA regulations and showing that I was in compliance, she stated that I was wrong and it was illegal to have ammunition. Her supervisor was eventually called and he took a quick look at my case and told her everything was in order. The TSA officer was at Reagan National. After scanning my bag, he requested to search my bag because it had firearms in it - which is why I was standing there with the airline rep while it was scanned. OK, whatever - gave the key to the lock and he opened it up and observed that yes there were firearms and properly packaged ammunition. He seemed fairly confused and just kept looking at the case and then to me, like he did not understand what to do next. Maybe it was because I had four pistols with me (I had taken a friend shooting for the first time and brought a variety for him to try out). Eventually his supervisor showed up and talked to me, apologized for the delay, and sent me on my way. Both times I remained calm and polite - but knew the facts and stood firm. I always arrive with plenty of time just in case there is an issue, so I am not stressed about missing a flight. [/QUOTE]
