Planning a trip for a training class that will require me to travel on an airplane with two handguns and support gear (cleaning gear, holster rigs, misc. accessories). I want to travel as discreetly as possible so here are my thoughts/current thinking on what I’ll do. If you have advice bag choice etc... please comment.
I will house my two pistols and gear in a medium/small Pelican (thinking a Pelican 1500). I’ll enclose all the TSA paperwork inside this Pelican with the pistols and gear and double padlock it. I’ll then put the Pelican inside a larger hard sided suitcase to masquerade to the airlines baggage handlers that I’m traveling with guns, and check it. Some thoughts, is there a Pelican type case out there that comes with an outer case that allows me to discreetly travel with guns? I’m thinking that I’d like to use the same Pelican for a range bag at my training class so that I don’t have to bring a dedicated range bag, and if that’s the case I might need something larger than a Pelican 1500. Am I over thinking this. Thoughts/advice on hard cases that I need to consider?
Thanks
