Ft Collins, CO –-(Ammoland.com)- Flying commercial airlines into the Washington DC area:

Delta Airlines has just announced that passengers may not fly with guns (in checked baggage and otherwise within TSA regulations) on any of its flights into the “Washington DC area”

This certainly includes DCA (Washington National, also called Washington Reagan), and likely includes IAD (Washington, Dulles), BWI (Baltimore), and PHL (Philadelphia), maybe others.

Other commercial airlines, particularly American, have not yet announced, but will probably follow this trend.

The cover-story is that this restriction will last only through next week’s inauguration, but many believe it will be permanent.

For those of us who routinely fly with guns in checked baggage, I have always recommended shunning Delta and American like the Plague, no matter where you’re going.

South West is best. United, Alaskan, and Frontier are tolerable.

I don’t fly any of the “boutique” airlines, so I’m unable to comment on them.

Travel Armor cases meet all TSA regulations and are recommenced.

On the broader question of the inauguration ceremony in DC itself, I’m pretty sure the whole thing will be televised, for the benefit of anyone who actually wants to watch it. A TV screen in CO is as close as I, for one, want to get!

Physically being anywhere in the DC area at that time, or near any state capitol for that matter, I think is a very bad idea!

Traveling anywhere next week is probably a bad idea!

No problem-o. According to all the anti gun groups you can just buy one behind any 7-11 any time for $10. Just buy one when you get there, I
reckon.

This is why I stopped flying 10 years ago. Don’t need the hassle and the humiliation.

I purposely did not get the “official” Arizona Drivers’ license with the star which would allow me to use it to fly on commercial airlines just in case I had a weak moment and actually thought about perhaps flying. The airlines, all of them, pretty much use and abuse the rights of their passengers for decades by arbitrarily and capriciously applying rules and regulations as they see fit when the mood strikes them and punishing anyone who complains.

All last summer there was riots in major cities across the country with different groups of people burning business’s, looting, breaking into privately owned property, and spouting false accusations about conservatives and President Trump, the media played along and called these people peaceful demonstrators but no airline said anything about restricting firearms in checked baggage on their airplanes. Now a large group of fed up people did a reckless incident in D.C. and the powers to be are scared for their skins and want to keep you from your constitutional right if you fly in an airplane. The democrats always… Read more »

What is “Creepy Joe” so afraid of? Maybe the fact that he’s a liar and a thief, as well an blithering idiot!
