I've flown out of there many times with firearms in the checked luggage and the bag screeners have always been cool, asking me to come back behind the counter and watch as they open and close the case and bag.  That's probably for their peace of mind as much as mine, so nobody can claim that they damaged or misplaced it.  A couple times they've admired and talked about the gun for a while.

My question is... if you're going on a hunting trip far away and flying out of Omaha, how are you now supposed to approach the baggage counter with firearms in your bag to declare and check them there, and still follow this new "prohibition" as written???   ???

Waltherfan:
It's not a new "prohibition". Those signs went up as soon as concealed carry was passed (if not a little before). They don't apply to firearms in luggage you are checking. People fly in and out frequently with obvious gun cases.

You can mail it to yourself.

If your going hunting with Uncle Joe, you can mail it to yourself at his address, without going through FFL.  Perfectly legal.

Husker_Fan:
I just looked it up. The Omaha Airport Authority is a part of the city government with board members who are appointed by the mayor and confirmed by the city council. I don't think it has the statutory authority to ban carry in the non-sterile areas of the airport.

I think the NFOA may want to consider sending a letter to Mayor Stothert to ask why the signs are allowed to be posted.

Husker_Fan:
To clarify, I don't think OAA can ban a valid CHP holder from carrying under the state preemption rules.
