Provided below is information for the transportation of
firearms and ammunition for airline travel.
AS STATED IN JULY 2008
Most airlines have provided a link to the specific web pages for Baggage Allowances,
Carry-on Baggage information, Firearms and Ammunition, Restricted Articles and
Specialty Items of which can include but is not limited to antlers, game meats and fishing
equipment.
The TSA website is truly the end all be all for airline travel regulations. Canadian and
European transportation agencies have essentially the same regulations and generally
defer some of their information to the TSA. Before starting any research for your flight it
is imperative that you thoroughly look at the TSA website because they have the broadest
amount of information and they are the supreme authority.
When traveling internationally, here are three issues by most if not all of the airline
carriers:
1) The airlines have stated that their policy for transporting firearms is the same for
both domestic and international flights.
2) They advise that you call the airline desk at your departure airport to inform them
that you are flying with a firearm and to get the most up-to-date information on
procedures at that airport.
3) If you are transferring from one airline to another, it is imperative for you to call
the second airline to check if they have any additional regulations, especially if
your transfer is in an international airport. There may be additional permits or
procedures to be processed prior to your arrival.
4) Certain temporary visitor permits are required if you are planning on staying
overnight in an international location that is not your final destination. Contact
your airline provider to discuss arrangements for your firearm.
General overview of regulations

Hunting Equipment
Firearms and Ammunition - Firearms, ammunition and firearm parts may only be transported in
checked baggage. Firearms, ammunition and firearm parts are prohibited from carry-on baggage.
There are certain limited exceptions for law enforcement officers (LEOs) who are authorized to
fly armed by meeting the requirements of 49 CFR § 1544.219.
Following is a summary of key regulatory requirements to transport firearms, firearm parts or
ammunition in checked baggage:
All firearms must be declared to the air carrier during the ticket counter check-in
process.
The firearm must be unloaded.
The firearm must be carried in a hard-sided container.
The container must be locked.
The passenger must provide the key or combination to the screener if it is
necessary to open the container, and then remain present during screening to take
back possession of the key after the container is cleared.
Any ammunition transported must be securely packed in fiber (such as
cardboard), wood or metal boxes or other packaging specifically designed to
carry small amounts of ammunition.
Firearm magazines/clips do not satisfy the packaging requirement unless they
provide a complete and secure enclosure of the ammunition (e.g., by securely
covering the exposed portions of the magazine or by securely placing the
magazine in a pouch, holder, holster or lanyard).
The ammunition may also be located in the same hard-sided case as the firearm,
as long as it is properly packed as described above.
Black powder and percussion caps used with black-powder type firearms are not
permitted in carry-on or checked baggage.
The regulations are strictly enforced. Violations can result in criminal prosecution and the
imposition of civil penalties of up to $10,000 per violation.
Air carriers may have their own additional requirements on the carriage of firearms and the
amount of ammunition an individual may place in checked baggage. Therefore, travelers should
also contact the air carrier regarding its firearm and ammunition carriage policies.
If you are traveling with a gun or ammunition, please read our information on traveling with these
items for more information.
Bow and Arrows - Bows and arrows are prohibited from carry-on luggage. These items should
be packed in checked luggage. Any sharp objects packed in checked luggage should be sheathed
or securely wrapped to prevent injury to baggage handlers and security screeners.
Hunting Knives and Tools – Hunting knives and certain tools are prohibited from carry-
on luggage. These items should be packed in checked luggage. Any sharp objects packed
in checked luggage should be sheathed or securely wrapped to prevent injury to baggage
handlers and security screeners.
Fishing Equipment
Fishing Rods / Poles - Fishing Rods are permitted as carry-on and checked baggage. However,
please check with your air carrier to confirm that it fits within their size limitations for carry-on
items. Ultimately, it is the carrier's decision as to whether or not it can be transported as carry-on
baggage.
Spear Guns - Spear guns are prohibited from carry-on luggage. These items should be packed in
checked luggage. Any sharp objects packed in checked luggage should be sheathed or securely
wrapped to prevent injury to baggage handlers and security screeners.

Firearms and Ammunition
http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/assistant/editorial_1666.shtm
There are certain limited exceptions for law enforcement officers who may fly armed by meeting
the requirements of Title 49 CFR § 1544.219
. Law enforcement officers should read our policies
on traveling with guns.
The key regulatory requirements to transporting firearms, firearm parts or ammunition in checked
baggage are:
You must declare all firearms to the airline during the ticket counter check-in process.
The firearm must be unloaded.
The firearm must be in a hard-sided container.
The container must be locked.
We recommend that you provide the key or combination to the security officer if he or
she needs to open the container. You should remain present during screening to take the
key back after the container is cleared. If you are not present and the security officer must
open the container, we or the airline will make a reasonable attempt to contact you. If we
can’t contact you, the container will not be placed on the plane. Federal regulations
prohibit unlocked gun cases (or cases with broken locks) on aircraft.
You must securely pack any ammunition in fiber (such as cardboard), wood or metal
boxes or other packaging that is specifically designed to carry small amounts of
ammunition.
You can’t use firearm magazines/clips for packing ammunition unless they completely
and securely enclose the ammunition (e.g., by securely covering the exposed portions of
the magazine or by securely placing the magazine in a pouch, holder, holster or lanyard).
You may carry the ammunition in the same hard-sided case as the firearm, as long as you
pack it as described above.
You can’t bring black powder or percussion caps used with black-powder type firearms
in either your carry-on or checked baggage.

asked to read and sign a special tag for each bag/container holding a firearm(s). This serves as
your declaration that each weapon is unloaded and both weapons and ammunition are properly
packaged. It is your responsibility to obtain all the necessary permits for any firearm checked
between the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

Liquids Allowance for Carry-on Baggage
http://www.delta.com/traveling_checkin/airport_information/security_checkpoints/index.jsp#liqu
ids
Liquids and Containers
Taking a few minutes to prepare may help to prevent some real hassles at security or even the
frustration of having some personal property confiscated. Most countries now prohibit or strictly
limit the size of containers with liquids, gels, aerosols, and pastes that you can take in your carry-
on luggage. Empty containers that could contain liquids are usually prohibited as well.
Examples of liquids and gels included in these security measures are:
Beverages, Creams, Hair gel, Hair spray, Shampoo, Suntan lotion, Toothpaste and other items of
similar consistency
You'll go smoothly through the security checkpoints in most countries if you follow these
guidelines for your carry-on baggage.
Do not pack or carry any empty containers.
Limit all liquids, gels, aerosols, and pastes to a maximum container size of 3.4 oz/100ml.
Place all such items in a quart-size, clear plastic, zip-top bag.
Remove your quart-size bag from your carry-on and place in the provided bin as you
approach the checkpoint.
In some airports it is possible to purchase these type of items and take them on board the aircraft
once you've cleared security. However, if your continuing travel takes you through additional
checkpoints where they're prohibited, they could be confiscated.
Special provisions are usually made for necessary items such as medications and baby formula.
For specific guidelines, visit the additional resources below for links to the appropriate
government agency.
