Filing Flight Plan
Long time reader, first time poster. I don't have a plane at this time but am on a wait list for a local club (50+ deep) and been passively watching airplanes for sale for the last 6 months (hence the username which continues to go unanswered).
Anyway, one of my primary missions will be transporting some of my guns/ammo/toys between home in Ohio and friends' land in the South Carolina and Colorado. Assuming all non-aviation-related factors are taken into account for State-dependent lawful possession, what legal and safety factors arise with GA carriage of firearms and ammo? I'm interested in any travel tips, anecdotes, or horror stories you may have.
FWIW, I am talking 4-5 long guns, a handful of pistols, cleaning accessories and field tools, and 150 lbs of ammo on average for training and competition shoots.
