So, I traveled to Detroit from Orange County with a Garand that I wanted to bring with me

I found out that I could only carry 11 pounds of ammo so I left 1/4 of the ammo that I planned on

I get to the airport with the rifle, 10# of ammo secured in a rifle case with 3 locks on it.

The airport people had me unlock the case where they didn't inspect that the rifle had a clear chamber! Let's say that there's one in the chamber and the plane has turbulence and a round goes off?

So I get to Detroit, go to where the rifle should be. I'm told to go get my regualer baggage and come on back. So Come on back and my WWII garand with 144 rounds of 30/06 loaded on emblocs isn't there! WTF!

Well it seems that it's SITTING on the over sized luggage by it's self. no one standing over it.

I was amazed. good job United!
