How to transport firearms?
I've been wondering lately, as i want to move to another state, how would i transport a firearm? obviously not through check in luggage. But Carry on? or would i need a third party to transport the firearm such as Fedex or UPS? And how about ammo? I hear that must be shipped seperatley.

Actually, if you are going to take them with you on an airline, they *must* be transported in your checked baggage and must be declared and in TSA-approved locked cases. Up to 11 pounds of ammo can be transported in checked baggage as well (but don't have to be in approved containers - but can be). You can also do what hunters do and ship your firearms to yourself at your new address. Ammo can also be shipped as long as it is properly labeled.
