No you're fine. Business as usual, just absolutely let them know that you are checking in a firearm and you'll have to declare it as empty and probably sign something stating so.I actually would like to know what the deal with this now is? I was planning on flying to Northern Virginia and check one of my guns. Now this sounds that they may be able to give you a hard time when you want to declare it at the counter
I'm gonna go ahead and call ******** on that. I can't find such a thing anywhere on their website.Got this answer back.
Thank you for the additional information regarding your feedback.. According to our Police Department, you need written permission from the Indianapolis Airport Authority Executive Director to carry firearms or explosives on airport property. This is based on Airport Ordinance 1-1986 Section 2.13 below. This is the reasoning for the sign wording on the sliding doors. Please let me know if you would like to get written permission from the Executive Director and I can figure out the steps it would take to do so.
Thank you,
Katie
I will post the reply when I get the information.

And whatever you do, ask the person when you check the bag that you would like to be present when the TSA checks it out. That way you don't have to surrender your key to anyone behind a closed door while they rifle through your belongings. PRINT OUT the specific TSA rules and take them with you for proof. If anyone gives you flack show them your printout. The people that work there are ignorant of their own rules and regulations.
I would strongly advise that you also check carefully any laws in any cities or towns that you will pass through on your flight. People have been pulled out of airports and arrested and jailed simply because they were unaware. At least two individuals transferred through NYC with declared weapons (TSA and FAA approved) and spent time in their jail. Be very very careful. I still don't understand how we are supposed to walk into OUR airport and declare a weapon for travel with Airport Ordinance 1-1986 Section 2.13 in effect.
Finding out how to get permission. Will let you know when I find out.
Here is the Airport Ordinance 1-1986 Section 2.13

The nice lady at the Airport that I am emailing has been very helpful with information and is going to find out the next steps to get permission from the Executive Director. Yes, it is an ordinance but I have no clue what that means legally.
