[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Flying with a supressor

Posted: 5/5/2008 9:09:34 PM EDT

How many of you have traveled with your suppressor. I am going to be moving to Alaska (at least 90% sure) and don't want to mail it to myself. I am also disconcerted in the possibility of putting it in my luggage and sending it that way. Has anyone EVER successfully attempted to take one on board an aircraft?

Is it legal since it's technically a firearm?

Is it legal to have a supressor in Alaska? Sorry, I'm new and we can't have any fun stuff like that in Hawaii.

Yep, Alaska is fully NFA good to go...

Yes, it travels like any firearm just keep a copy of the F4 handy.

And everything is legal in Alaska.

Do not attempt to take it on board. At best the TSA guy will know what it is and will take it away, for good. At the worst end he will think it is a bomb and there will be chaos and they will take it away for good. Find an SOT/FFL in AK and send it to them, then pick it up from said dealer when you arrive.

How are your household goods getting there? I have moved around the country a few times with my NFA stuff and they have always traveled on a truck. Don't most people that move to AK and HI ship their stuff on a container (POD maybe)?

Correct. Treat it the same way you would treat a handgun.

Household good will be most likely by contract carrier. I am attempting to get my stuff shipped down to Travis AFB and then on one of our planes via POD. Only problem is that there are no POD retailers in Alaska
