Checked in a 112-yr-old .22 rifle in hard case. I had to show the clerk how to examine it to see it was unloaded. Got to destination and waited 45 minutes at the baggage carousel until the same pieces of luggage passed me 10 times. No rifle. I walked around the carousels. No luck. Then on a shelf below a locked pass-through, I saw the case & rifle. Anyone could have picked it up and walked off with it. It would have been nice to know in advance the proper way to return properly checked arms to travelers.

Yes, but this is fast & cheap, and not sufficiently restrictive of gun-owners. Eleanors38 Jan 2017 #14
