The agent at the counter got a little nervous when I removed the 686+ and popped the cylinder open to demonstrate that it was empty. I was more surprised as someone walked up with a multiple sheet carbon form to fill out so I could have the firearm in the cabin. I explained that wasn't necessary. My principal concern when traveling with the firearm in checked baggage is getting my hands on the bag ASAP as it hits to carousel in the baggage retrieval area. Even more worrisome is having the bag fail to arrive. Fortunately, that has never happened. My hotel in Greenwood Village lacked a safe in the hotel room. I checked the locked box with the hotel clerk for placement in the hotel safe.

I wish I could have my firearm, even unloaded in the cabin. I hate that is has to go with luggage. When I travel, we stick to states I can carry and my CCW never leaves my body. I carry on my person, not in my purse. My gun, my responsibility.
