Many moons ago, gun laws were a bit more lax out here (as were airline laws). When I would go to summer camp, I'd throw my dad's old .22 from his college days in my duffel, along with ammo and check it in, didn't even declare it... For some reason, I took the scope on board one time and decided to take the rear optic off and stick my little finger down towards the cross-hairs - whoops, bad move... It became a very custom scope after that, broke the cross-hairs... I learned how to shoot with that handicap.
