Fort Worth, TX - July 11th

pilotguy · Jul 2, 2009

I will be in Texas for work next weekend, and am going to the gun show in Fort Worth. I might pick up something used (rifle,) and was wondering if anyone knows of a good hard case for rifles/shotguns to be used to transport in an airplane? I have some from Bass Pro Shop, and they are good for going to the range, but I don't think they would hold up to baggage handlers. I know Pelican makes nice ones, but they are pricey, and I don't really know about others.

I was in Fort Worth last week visiting family. I am jealous that you are going to the gun show. I was told it is a great show. You will have to let us know how it was.

wouldn't you have to involve an FFL to purchase a rifle in texas as an MD resident?

Unless you have a c&r I'm pretty sure your gonna need to transfer it thru an ffl. You can buy long guns in MD in adjoining states cash and carry but not halfway across the country.

Last month, when I was in Ohio, I purchased a Cricket .22 for the grandson. It seems Ohio will sell any long gun to a Maryland resident if bought in person. They had a list in the gun shop of about 30 states that Ohio would sell to residents in person.

Please don't take offense, I was not trying to accuse or get into your business or anything, I was just curious if someone can go to a non-adjacent state and purchase a long gun. (I know it is not possible with handguns).

I have a Texas permit, and they use that for ID, so I don't know if you can use a Maryland license for out of state FTF on a non handgun purchase.

A person may only acquire a firearm within the person’s own State, except that he or she may purchase or otherwise acquire a rifle or shotgun, in person, at a licensee's premises in any State, provided the sale complies with State laws applicable in the State of sale and the State where the purchaser resides. A person may borrow or rent a firearm in any State for temporary use for lawful sporting purposes.

Buy away.

By the way, I decided to get a nice Peilcan case anyways. I decided it wasn't worth betting that a case that I am unfamiliar with would survive a trip at the hands of baggage handlers.

I would worry about it "getting lost" in the airports. Why not ship it to yourself Fedex or UPS?

They tell me that the gun show was smaller for Texas, but it was about the size of Chantilly. Mostly just guns and jerkey. Must be some law that you can't have a gun show without selling jerkey.

Obviously, lots of guns, lots of ammo (no ammo shortage here.) Lots of PMAGS, and I picked up some non-window versions for $12.95 each. Everyone had the GSG-5's and the Colt .22 M4's. They even had the GSG-5 SD, which is pretty nice looking up close (except for the titanium colored receiver.) Only two or three dealers had expensive prices. It seems like the AR-15's are not moving fast anymore. Lots of Colt, LMT, S&W, RRA, etc. for sale.
