As others have said, have the locked gun case in a checked bag that is declared at the check-in counter. They will usually have you open the case to ensure that the gun is unloaded, and you will get a numbered ticket to show that you did check the gun properly.
I have never worried too much about someone stealing the gun case from my bag, since I have the ticket to prove that I turned it over to the airlines. This proof should suffice for any claims against the airline for any losses that might occur... I like new guns.
I have flown many times with my LCP, boxed ammo and knife in a Pelican case as shown. If I were just starting to carry this way, I would purchase the Apache case from Harbor Freight, which is actually built better and at a third of the price.
