Well i live in texas and am gonna be taking a trip up to see some family. I'm planning on taking my mauser and .45 with me (since there's not many places to shoot here, and they live out in the country) but i don't know if it's legal for me to check a pistol at the airport considering i'm 19. I've been looking around and am getting conflicting answers from various people. Any insight would be helpful. Thanks, joel
