my experience also, and not just logan. but obviously never flying out of new york/new jersey. i've been accused of being stupid many times but in that situation...nooooooI have flown out of Logan with handguns in luggage many times. I have never had a "LTC check" or law enforcement called....
The interesting thing about NY is the practice is not confined to the NYC area airports, but seems to be common trhoughout the state.my experience also, and not just logan. but obviously never flying out of new york/new jersey. i've been accused of being stupid many times but in that situation...noooooo
At Logan? Basically the same, depending on the person. Sometimes they ask to see it. Sometimes they ask to see that it's cleared. Sometimes they give you the card and send you in your way.i'm going off again...when i was shooting competitive handgun, flying around the country to big matches, maybe a dozen times a year with 3 or 4 handguns. the agent was so uninterested. just open the case and put your orange tag in, lock, hand over for check in. some people here think the ticket agent is going to gasp, jump away and dash to the hot line to the sp. man, not even close. i'd bet she had been through the procedure before, a lot. the funny part was they use to make you open the firearms case right there, in front of the hundred or so people behind you in line. you'd see those people straining their necks to see what was in the case that was holding up the line and that's when many times you heard the gasps and saw the odd person or two recoiling back. but it's been several years since i've flown with a firearm and i have no idea what the actual procedure is now.
I hope someone who is on Facebook shares that info on his page. This kind of fear mongering helps no one.A quick internet search shows that a gentleman tried to take a gun thru a TSA checkpoint on March 24th. This is not a case of somebody with a properly checked firearm getting busted at Logan airport. This is a case of pure stupidity.
Maura and Andrea were not ramped up yet. These two are not Charlie Parker. Not by a long shot.I went through 2x last year no issue….
Some of the national instructors I've studied with will not fly through NY or NJ airports with guns. They fly into an adjacent state, and then drive into these two. I personally would love to see Pennsylvania annex the northern part of NJ, and the southern part of NY to create a safe transportation corridor between New England, and the rest of the country.A quick internet search shows that a gentleman tried to take a gun thru a TSA checkpoint on March 24th.

NY and NJ aren't MA. Flying with checked firearms isn't trying to carry through the TSA screening...Some of the national instructors I've studied with will not fly through NY or NJ airports with guns.

Ditto.I have flown out of Logan with handguns in luggage many times. I have never had a "LTC check" or law enforcement called, though years ago I had to show Air Canada my paperwork to bring the guns into that country when I checked in for the flight.
Calling LE for a "legality check" seems to be a NY/NJ thing.
Younger TSA baggage agent at TF Green/RI running baggage scanner takes out my Infinity. Young guy asks older guy what to do - older guy responds with "No problem, he has the tag .... that's an SVI but I do my builds on Caspian frames".Ditto.
So far, the biggest "problem" I've had checking guns at airports were agents doing the paperwork who wanted to talk about guns. Most recently, at PBI the guy wanted my advice about problems he was having with his Glock. At EYW, the agent got excited when he saw my pistol, saying that he had the same gun, hadn't shot it much, and wanted to talk about it. All this while folks in the line behind us were queuing up. I guess these guys get bored.
There is a new sheriff in town And things are going to get very, very nasty for anyone who is law abiding, and a gun owner.
This where where knowing the basics is not good enough.I fly in and out of Logan several times a year with firearms. I was never asked for my LTC except for one time. It was in 2017, shortly after the Fort Lauderdale airport shooting. I flew into Boston with, I believe, American Airlines. When I landed my bag never came out at the baggage claim. I went to the American baggage office and two troopers were standing there next to my bag. They asked if I had a firearm in my bag and asked for my LTC. So clearly the airline communicated with MSP that my bag contained a firearm. Not sure what would’ve happened to an out of state resident without a MA LTC. I’ve flown American since then with no issues.
Oh come on. We all know the CIA orchestrated 9/11. In fact, the buildings never even fell. They're being David Copperfield'd.
Ditto. They just want to know you meet the TSA requirements, next.Flown 3x in/out of Logan. Never been asked my my LTC.
