Sorry, I have seen it happen where the police take possession of a firearm in the situation I describe. And it actually makes sense, in a way. When the police get there, its at the point where the case is no longer locked - and the gun can not fly if its not locked. Do you really think the airline will buy a lock for the passenger even if its their mistake?? Since when do airlines treat passengers nicely?
I am guessing as to whether or not a gun will be shipped. Once at that point, its beyond TSA's hands.
