North Dakota job

[libertybear]

I just got a lead on some temp. work in North Dakota. I see they honour our LTCH but have never flown with a handgun. Can someone point out the best thread to check out for flying with a handgun?

Gee I'm not sure how to act haven't had a actual job with a pay check in 4 months now. The wife is supposed to have a job soon too Just in time as all bills are current except for the mortgage for this month which just came due on the 5th so I should even get that in b4 the grace period.

Make sure you have a place to live if its in the western part of the state, if there is anything it will be expensive. Many people living year round in campers. Check out this NYTimes piece: Homeless in a Boom State - Video Library - The New York Times

good luck

The TSA has rules that the gun be UNLOADED and in a LOCKED hard-sided pistol case that goes in your CHECKED baggage...that means a case that you cannot pry open the side and slip the gun out (like many cases are).
I drilled a second hole into my case for another luggage lock.

MAKE SURE TO CHECK WITH THE AIRLINE for additional rules.
When I recently flew AirTrans, I found that they had a rule of NO AMMO in the same checked bag as the gun. I checked their website ahead of time and saved myself the hassle at airport.

I also field strip the gun apart (you might want to keep the spring or a key part in the other bag--so someone can't use it if stolen or missing).

It is also a good idea to not pack a loaded magazine (some states have rules about transporting guns ready to fire--and that can include a loaded mag that sits in the glovebox).

Come on out the weather's fine.
Well at least yesterdays snow has melted.
Seriously though ND has been a decent place to work, I have been out here since last June. What part of the state are you headed too?
