Traveling with Firearms

[ereynolds]

I have travelled to Tanzania in 2003 and Zambia in 2004. In both cases there have been no problems with transporting my firearms except they were lost in South Africa during he transition from Atlanta to Lusaka in Johannesberg. What actually happened is unclear except they finally showed up on the last day of my hunt. I don't know what could be done to prevent the problem, but it won't stop me from returning in 2006 for leopard.
The TSA people have, for the most part, been nonplused about my gun cases and firearms. There was some problem regarding whether you could transport ammunition in the same case as the gun, but the most current TSA website information said it was acceptable. A copy of this in hand at the airport saved me from having to move my ammo to my checked baggage.
