The only other thing you need to worry about is stopping at a Canadian airport. If the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) finds it, You are upsidedown beyond all compare you would be detained for attempting to bring a firearm into Canada. All so do not ship it because if it enters Canada (witch if you ship it by UPS or FedEx it most likely will) the CBSA will seize/confiscate it and it will be destroyed by the crown (In the name of her majesty Queen Elizabeth II) Aka the CBSA. So I say to you, Fly with you gun take a nonstop flight!

Seriously, you need to learn how to write proper English and people will give you more credibility. Using text speak is retarded outside of your cell phone. Stick to things you know and stay out of the safety/legality forum until you know more about life in general.

While you're right about the grammar issue, he's correct about checking them in.

I've flown multiple times with airsoft guns, pistols and AEGs. You can actually fly with no orange tip. I usually declare it as an airsoft gun, and then they tell me I don't have to, but I do it anyway. Last time I took an AEG I waited until after they'd run it through the scanner and swabbed it, and then I locked it up again.

Ok sorry
When I traveled to ASGI I bought a GBB
My mom works for UAL and all we had to do is put in your checked luggage and no BBs in it.

I once accidentally left a gas pistol mag in my carry on and didn't notice until I arrived in Hawaii.

TSA sucks. They're only there to look at my hot dog in a space machine.

I am surprised, too, since my carry on is my TT 3-day assault pack, which I use for Army stuff and I'm pretty sure it's covered with gunpowder and explosives residue. I guess as long as I keep clean shaven on flights I won't look ethnic enough to search.

Wait! Are you suggesting that because hijackers and suicide bombers are typically male hajjis between 18-35 that the TSA only really pays attention t o them? That would be profiling, and profiling is wrong!

Typical military veteran to wear a tinfoil hat and blame the government for world domination.

Haha and yet, look how safe El Al Airlines from Israel is. Their methods may not be the most politically correct, but they sure get the job done.

Just a couple of articles from fairly refutable sources. Again, they never say they're gonna be polite about security, but you know that if you fly with them, you're truly safe.

I might be sort of late to this, but I have flown numerous times with replicas. Just declare it like a real firearm, but let them know it is a replica. Then just pack it nicely...

Simple.

It is extremely easy to fly with firearms, you declare it. And once everything is done and the tags are filled out you can put it inside one of your checked bags depending on the airline. Very hassle free, but then again I was checking in sea bags. :P
