My wife is an RN and will be going to a lactation conference in Charlotte, NC next month. Is there any way for her to take her Taurus 606 revolver with her on the plane? I know that it would have to be in her checked luggage if at all. NC has a reciprocal CHL agreement with the state of Texas and she is a CHL holder. I'm sure some TBHer knows all the legalities of this kind of thing.

It has to be checked and has to be in an airline approved, lockable case.
To save any hassles, I would just have her buy more ammo when she gets there rather than shipping ammo with the gun. I believe it has to be checked separately but not 100% sure on that.Comment

She can not take her revolver onto that plane in her carry-on baggage or on her person.
She should be able to bring it in her checked baggage as long as it is declaired and unloaded and in a lockable container.

The answers are above that you need. Charlotte is very nice and I doubt that it will be needed if the conference is downtown or out on the interstate but if all else fails the Bass Pro Shop there is VERY nice!!!!Comment

Checked, locked hardside container inside her luggage, declare it when she checks in.
Have her find out if it's OK for a gal to 'whip it out' and feed the baby in public since it's 'natural', is it OK for a guy to look over (since it's also 'natural')? Inquiring minds want to know.Comment

I assume it is a conference for work?!
If I was to go to a conference related to work, even though I would be out of town, technically I would be working and WOULD NOT be allowed to carryComment
