Last time I flew to see my parents in Alabama I took some guns along. No big deal going down. Coming
home out Birmingham airport I told the clerk checking bags I had firearms to declare. She very nicely and
in a loud voice announced,"Oh, are you a marshall taking your gun on the plane?" I had to explain "no" ,
but lots of ears around already heard.
I had to make sure I was in baggage claim early in case someone tried to get "grabby".
