Guy #1 buys a pistol (brand new), a few years go by he sells pistol to guy #2, a few years go by he sells it to guy #3. Guy #3 drives out of state, gets into a predicament and has to fly back. At the airport he declares his pistol (w/no ammo) and askes to purchase a transport case. While waiting for the case, the security calls the local sheriff over. The sheriff runs the serial number on the pistol and because guy #3 was not the original purchaser of the pistol they confiscate the gun. Being that this happen out of state the only salution to getting this pistol back is for gun #1 to either find his original paper work and have it mailed and transfered back to him, or pay 500+ dollars for a plane ticket to go pick it up from the sheriff. So basically the government just descided to steal a firearm for no good reason.
fyi I am not guy #3, as he is a piss pore planner. I have flown with guns numerous times and never had any issues.
Lesson for everyone out there, keep your paper work with you and have a lock box.
Also recently heard it is against the law to fly with more than 1 gun unless you are active duty military.
