Flying through Newark, NJ with suppressors?

[Webster]

Take the damn thing off and you have solved everything.

Call some official or TSA in NJ and get an official opinion. You don't want to get arrested or miss a flight. If they see a gun case it might trigger a big inspection.

Interstate, all TSA ever checked was for the firearm to be unloaded and any ammo was packed correctly. No need to show any customs form 4457 as when one arrives from out of the country. For all intents and purposes a can is just part of the firearm. As you said, chances of some law enforcement coming to your hotel room, especially in crime free Newark, NJ is slim. Besides that, the firearm/can is still in transit.

Again you are hung up on the firearm. The question is on the suppressor which are illegal to posses in New Jersey. If they have to take repossession of the suppressor they are screwed. Also just read any threaded barrel is illegal in New Jersey. 99% of the time the connecting flight goes off without a hitch. But if it were me I wouldn’t be traveling on luck. I look for a different airport to go through.

This thread reminds me of my last weekend. I was hunting red stags in Argentina which has incredibly painful processes and procedures for bringing firearms into and out of the county (and before and after every single domestic flight). On departure we went through the process to 'export' the firearms, checked them in as luggage etc. The flight, however, was forced to return to Buenos Aires due to mechanical issues. At 2.30 AM we landed and collected our bags 'n guns, but we couldn't cross customs as we no longer had a permit to (temporarily) import the firearms since they'd been exported and that license was then cancelled. We spent 4.5 hours in the middle of the night trying to find a solution which would allow us to exit through customs and immigration to check ourselves onto the new flight. What a freakin' disaster. We only just made an 8 AM flight out. Sh*t can and does happen.

I've flown to Cape Town or Jo-berg about 10 times now. Last two trips, United though Newark was almost $1200 cheaper than Delta through Atlanta. Outfitter has nice suppressed rifles but I'm a gun guy. I like using my rifles. My son and daughter in law are accompanying us and I want them to enjoy themselves.

Take the rifles and ship the suppressor’s!
