In the early 1970's it was easy. You checked the gun at the luggage counter and they put it into a box and away the box went. When you got off the plane the Pilot or First Officer were passing out boxes to passengers exiting the plane next to the Flight Deck. In the 1980's you requested a "Red Tag" and the counter clerk knew what that was. Attach the tag to unloaded gun with your name and flight number, put it into your checked baggage and all was well. Today I will not play the game. I do go to some cities that do not like guns. I carry my defensive items (knife and mace) in my checked baggage which I do not have to declare. I fly the Big Delta airlines.
