Thread: Rifles as baggage

Anyone have info on taking a rifle/s, ammo as check in baggage on airlines domestically? I've never done this (even though I work in the industry). I know I can call the airline and ask. I have the hard gun cases.
Was going to take my .223 down south last week and blow some bunnies up but in light of the "being really nice frenzy by media and politicians (a politician)" thought better of it. Didn't want to be confronted in the airport by shoot first cops or anti gun goody goodies squealing and being over dramatic.
