I love it to Bess..and as it is coming from another Admin I figured I could put my own 2 cents in there...Sometimes one has to be careful with what one says, to who it is said to, and what it might entail...I am slowly learning this lesson, a sad one it is too. :lol:

Frankly Syren, I don't seem to be able to say anything here as of late without my own personal mods following me around and posting something about it... I'm surprised they don't follow me to WAG and Scrabble and correct my spelling... hmmm in most cases folks don't lose their right to free speech until after they lose their right to defend themselves...

Not sure go ask my conscience... now enough as I will get blasted for hijacking another thread...since I no longer seem to have the right to post what I like any where here ...

Pfft...You did not hijack it I did. ;) Now quit trying to steal my spotlight! :lol:

Well Syren, maybe I am going to hijack it now!!! So then I get the attention! ;)

Ok kiddies... while no one needs to give a crap what I say (and most of you don't) please note that March, while a month that is represented by the god of war, is ending tomorrow. Then, aside from april fools day, we are into happy little fuzzy bunny, hippity hop April.... I expect everyone to be cute and fuzzy little bunnies starting tomorrow and no more mean March warriors.... Hurricane... you first!!!

Those who don't....well next time I see you, I'm going to do my baby cry till your ears bleed (if you have heard it you are probably already cringing) and make Animal give you sloppy kisses (Trust me .... start being nice... it is really in your best interest)

Love to everyone (cause I really don't give a crap about politics and I sure as hell don't want to argue about them, I would much prefer to enjoy my pirate time)

Diosa (hopping like a cute little bunny early... or is that skipping and curtseying... damn absinthe....)

well you see, i have *censor* that permits me to fly with *censor* while acting in the *censor**censor* while i am in the continental united states, but *censor* does not allow me to reveal the purpose of *censor* and its amazing how many people do not realize that *censor*, but one of the easiest solitions is to simply take the lock or barrel off the frame- hence no weapon.

My little bunny tail is now tucked between my legs. I know -- a great visual isn't it.

Bring on the absinthe and green rabbits, uhh, faeries.

I wonder if the Airlines have an increase of people explaining that they are carrying black powder guns right before and during PiP? I imagine so...

I was just thinking of shoving my doglock down my pants and telling TSA that I mistook my Viagra for Valium. At my age, I might get away with it -- I know they'd be loathe to frisk it. :)

i have yet to have any real issues...usually fly withthem in a large(really large) duffle bag....with a lock....also have a tsa approved "flight proof" gun case...extra llong to accomodate me longgun....but its more the problem of weight restrictions and having to pay extra...than what i gots inside em!?!?!

flew to Baltimore...form Detroit.....had me duffle full of flintlocks and swords....also had to wear me tricorn hat an coat to save room in me bags.....declareed to the lady behind the desk....as to the contents....."i have a bunch of flintlock pistols and swords in there".....she asked...without looking up...

"what, are you a pirate".....then she looked up...her mouth dropped oppen...as i replied..."why yes i am, as a matter of fact"

then had to take it over in line for the x-ray conveyor......guard grabbed me bag without lookin at me..he oooffed at the weight of it....asked me what was so heavey.....

"flintlock guns and swords...a bunch of em"

"what, are you a pirate?"....then he looked up at me.....mouth dropped agin......"i guess you are!!"

went thru the x-ray....guard watchin the screen....backed it up...went thru again...backed it up...went thru again...backed it up...went thru again......

"what the hell are theses??"

"flintlock guns and swords...a bunch of them!"...replioed the first guard....."holy crap...is this guy a pirate or what?"....

"why...YES...he is!"....replied the first guard.....then i see a bunch of guards lookin over the conveyor...spyin me in me Tricorne hat, Coat, period shoes....i just smiled and shrugged

by this time quite a line had gathered behind me.....then the looks started

so....other than the looks....which are a bit common.....i usually mention that they are "replicas"...or antigues"....and they dont usually seem to care!??

.i have a TSA approved gun box....long enough fer me longgun.....the box itsaelf is 40lbs...dont take much before i am over the 50lbs limit...

M.A.d'Dogge Where'd ye get it?

It got suggested to me to avoid all this garbage with airports, TSA and fear of theft, is to go to my local gun shop and have them Fed-Ex my guns to a gun shop at or near my destination...They have a license to ship weapons..

went thru Cabellas.....gun case brand is "FLIGHT PROOF"....really nice case....wheels and everything.....had to get the "BLACK POWDER " version to accomodate me long gun tho

problem being it is allresdy 40lbs empty...by the time me gun ,,,a pistol or two...and me cutlass goes inside...over the weight limit and have to pay extra...50 to 70 bucks extra!?!!

Great story. I darn near chocked on me coffee.

Flying in costume always works wonders. First, you become a conversation piece for those who are enduring another drab day of checking for 3 oz. of liquid. Second, they naturally assume that anyone dressed so outlandishly isn't going to be a damned terrorist since we're trying to draw attention to ourselves.

I do the same thing when they ask what is in my ultra cheap cardboard with 10 pounds of duct tape on it. "Guns and swords." It's not a locked box. It's a shipping box for a guitar. I thoughtfully include a roll of duct tape inside so if the inspectors want to have a look see, I've included supplies to them to seal it back up. It has inspection stickers all over it from 10 or so trips out of country by now.
