I am going to Alaska for "work" in June, and I'll be there a week! We're staying at a fishing compound/resort of sorts and there will be lots of fishing I'm told.

That being said, I've heard that where there is fish in Alaska, there are also bears. Should I finally put my Ruger Redhawk to good use and fly with it out there, or should I not worry about it? Also, what would be a good case to fly with a 7 1/2 inch barrel? I figured I'd give the gun double duty as my SD gun while I'm there.

Thanks for the neverending knowledge you guys and gals have.

If you haven't flown with a firearm before, print out BOTH the TSA regs and the airline rules. Airline rules vary.

 

Here's TSA:

I would caution you against carrying that weapon in a zippered suitcase, locked or not. I've seen a video of a locked nylon zippered suitcase being opened with a ballpoint pen stuck in between the zipper teeth, within 10 seconds. Just move the zipper handle to one end or the other and separate the teeth with the pen. Remove the contents, re-zip the zipper from one end, and nobody is the wiser. Not unless your gun case/safe is cabled to the inside of the suitcase to keep it from being misappropriated, and even that isn't a cod-lock cinch (but it should slow them down, anyway). This is known as the "luggage monkey's suitcase key" !!!!
