Quoted: Looking for advice from FFL holders in KY. I have a nephew stationed at Fort Hood in Texas and will be coming home on leave next week. He has 3 handguns he wants to ship to KY instead of checking them in his luggage. I realize this will be more expensive but what are his options for shipping? Ship from FFL in Texas to FFL in KY? Are there other options? Thanks. An FFL is only REQUIRED on one end of the transaction. It could be worth the extra in safety and convenience to have one on each end. Your choice. |

He’s better off flying with them.

I'd just check them, personally. Plenty of airlines will check a bag for free for active military.

Reading is fundamental, missed the coming home bit.  I'm happy to do the transfer for free if he's in the NKY area. |

Thanks for all the replies. He is flying into Louisville and I think he is convinced to check them in his luggage.

Can't just check them in unlock or TSA locked luggage. Also make sure he doesn't fly connecting flights through anti gun airports. Some people have been arrested do to a connection flight issue and had to pick up their luggage in that airport.. causing them to be a criminal. |

He does have the correct lockable cases but I don’t know about his connecting flights. I’ll find out he is flying in on Saturday. |

Having flown with guns dozens of times and had connecting flights in CA, IL and even DC, I have NEVER heard of this. Unless he is leaving security with his bags on a long layover, they will be sorted onto carts on the tarmac for transfer, not re inspected by TSA  |

As long as he does not have to take possession of his luggage, he is OK. I would only be concerned about being marooned for the night in a commie location because of a weather or mechanical cancellation of a flight where they cannot get you on another flight until the next day. In that case they do make you take possession of your checked luggage and recheck it the next day. |
