This weekend I am sitting in Central Florida for graduation ceremonies for my son.
I thought I would share the loops I had to go through so I could carry my weapon while in Florida. First locked case inside baggage that has to be checked (30 dollars round trip). Inform the ticket agent that there is handgun in my baggage, she asked if I would open the baggage and case to ensure weapon was unloaded. Boy the looks you get from other travelers,funny.
After going through TSA checkpoint I had to see the supervisor who calls another government employee to make sure they did not need to see me. Not sure why the second possibility of gun check but oh well..
Seems like quite a bit of scrutiny but worth the peace of mind once I'm in Florida to carry and take son and daughter to local range for some quality shootong time
