Greetings from Alaska!

At least one guy here knows me already...he's a regular reader of my blog!

Thanks for the announcement, JR. Sorry I won't be participating much for a couple of weeks...taking a trip over to NC, and will be unplugged for most of the time. But, I'm taking my guns with me to introduce my brother to the joys of large-caliber portable firepower (I own a HK USP45 and a .44 Desert Eagle).

I had traveled by air with firearms before--the last time was in 2000 with the AR15 I had built. But that was pre-9/11. This is the first time since then I have attempted to travel with guns. I think I have all my ducks in a row...I'll let everyone know how it went.
