Do pilots traveling with firearms know about TSA-approved lock requirements?

What's your experience checking firearms on commercial flights?

Pilots traveling for work don’t check weapons.

I was going to say FFDOs do, but they keep their weapons with them.

You don’t check your AR-15 for the long Detroit layovers?

I fly with a lotta guys that would love to bring theirs, that's for sure.

I thought that was industry standard.

r/flying is intended to be a place to discuss things like pilot training, regulations, procedures, techniques, aircraft ownership and maintenance, piloting as a career, and similar topics.
“Aviation enthusiast” content is better suited to r/aviation.
Flight simulation belongs in r/flightsim.
Questions and content about air travel (passenger experience, frequent flyer programs, etc.) are better suited to r/travel.

The only time I ever traveled with a firearm as a pilot was when I had to self deploy to Afghanistan as an individual augmentee to another unit.
This was about 15 years ago, so I don’t remember the details. But the weapons traveled in a pelican case with padlocks just like regular baggage.
