Haven't seen this discussed yet, but here goes. Would I raise any red flags with TSA or anyone else if I were to fly round-trip to California and only checked a handgun on the return flight? (Picking up a handgun I legally own that I left with someone for safekeeping.) Thanks.

I don't think that you would have any problems. But you do have to follow the rules for TSA. I took a trip to GA back in Oct. I did take firearms with me on my trip. I also sold one of the guns to my brother and I brought back the gun that was my late fathers gun. I did have the guns in a hard plastic rifle case that also had pad locks on it. I went to the ticket check in counter and told them that I had the guns. They had me fill out a 3x5 card with my name and address on it. Then they had me put it in the rifle case. And then went to the TSA people where they looked things over and they then put the case through. Now for a Pistol it dose have to be in a hard case that can be locked. Also if you put it into your suitcase the suitcase has to be hard sided and be able to be locked as well. And you still have to go to the ticket counter and tell them that you do have the gun packed in your suit case. And they will more than likely have you fill out some form saying that the gun is there. I also went to the airlines web site that I was flying on and printed out their regulations for carrying guns on their planes. the guy at the ticket counter looked at me as if he did not know what to do. I handed him their regulations that I got from their site and he said that I must have done it before and I told him it was my first time but that I did do my homework and found out what I needed to do. He looked at what I printed out and that was that no problems. So you might want to check with the airline that you are flying on and ask them what they require and then follow and do what they say and you should have no problems. Have a safe trip.

There is so much wrong with the below post.....
Sounds like a sale between residents of two different states which was illegal if it did not go through an FFL.
