Inconsistency of Air Travel with Firearms.....

[TAB]

Great idea. I just read in our local paper that Greg Norman is cutting back and selling his 727. Think of the DRTV charter trips Pheasants in England, plains game in Africa, Sheep in Turkey. I'm sure our membership fees should get us 1/2 price flights.

thats going to make a dent in the ammo budget...

Even something small like a cessna is atleast $150/ hour to operate... any turbine, is going to cost you $1000/ hour in just parts and labor.  Thats not fuel, pilot, ins, etc.  Thats just parts and labor.  Thats per engine...

I'm sure Rob and MB are good for it!
FQ13 who will pay for those little plastic wing pins.

well in that case. I highly recomend a 421c.  220 knot cruise, lots of room, easy to fly, great range, affordable( as far as planes go)  just all around a great aircraft...

Can you see the look in the eyes smell the fear in the pants of the official "gun guy" as that tail comes in sight of the boarding gate

A couple of years ago i won a rifle case at the NRA annual meeting. It is the kind that is part hard plastic and part soft nylon material. Shaped like the "typical" rifle case it broadcasts "gun". Well I show up at the Milwaukee airport and the airline clerk wants to charge me 50 bucks to put it in the cargo hold. I say I'll carry it on board...She says ok...As I walk to the TSA security check the TSA folks look at me like I'm a serial killer. I smile and say its empty...I get a "it better be" back at me....now onto the gate ... I figure it would be more better if I fold the case in half...well this baby don't like being folded...here I am in front of like a hundred passengers at the gate trying to massage the case into a pretzel....fold....boing...fold....boing...fold....boing....finally I took my belt off and wrapped it around the dam case so I could put it in the overhead....

So today's air travel debacle:  They lost my luggage... both pieces... including the new case they sold me in Houston last week.... with the pistols.....

If you would not mind stating, which airlines and which airports are you having these probs at?

[Teresa Heilevang]

Southwest is the only airline that is even remotely made up of humans with common sense. But SW doesn't fly everywhere............... *sighhhhhhh*
Soooo......I hate TSA and I hate airports!
I'm mad at them before I ever even get to the airport and I stay pissed off at them until after I get home..
They absolutely have no respect for anyone property and most of them are rude as hell..and they need a full course in "people skills"..

There!    Now I'm mad all over again.. and I don't even have to board a plane for another week and a half.

Thanks a hell of a lot Rob..

The First Issue was Continental in Norfolk (limit).

The second was TSA in Houston (case).

Tonight was Northwest (now changing to Delta) from Minneapolis to Tulsa (Luggage not on plane.. showing up tomorrow at 6 PM!)

At least the guy at the counter was polite and somewhat helpful.... but I think I knew more about the lost luggage procedure than he did.

I've found south west to be the best airline by far.
