Episode 67 was filmed August 20th, flying Southwest from New Orleans to Las Vegas. Smooth check-in, and I used the 15-minute wait to talk about something new I’ve got coming.
Check-In at MSY
Declared firearms. One bag to check, one handgun in a Condition 1 case inside another piece of luggage. Agent confirmed my final destination was Vegas, then handed me the declaration form. I filled out what I could and he took care of the rest. Signed the back.
He confirmed unloaded and locked, dropped the form in my FedEx sleeve, gave me my gate, and I was set. Set my 15-minute timer and waited at the flagpole. TSA didn’t come out.
While I was on the wait I wanted to mention a new product. I’m now selling USA Carry Travel Tags. USA Carry logo on one side, QR code on the other that takes you straight to the Pew Policies page. That page has the USA Carry reciprocity maps, each airline’s firearm policies, TSA’s policies, and NFA forms. Everything you’d want to pull up at a counter or before a trip, in one spot on your bag.
They’re up for pre-order now and shipping in about three to four weeks. They’re already moving fast, so if you want in on the first batch, grab one here: https://store.usacarry.com/products/usa-carry-travel-tags

Final Thoughts
Sixty-seven episodes in and the process still runs the same way. Declare, fill out the form, wait, pick up the bag.
