Rifle + Handgun Air Travel

[Gooden123]

I'm mostly a bow hunter so sorry if this is a dumb question.

I cut a 6.5 PRC barrel down to 21" so it fits in my Pelican Air double bow case along with most of my backcountry gear. I usually just throw my bow in it and pad under, on top and around it with clothes, etc. They don't seem to dig around with archery equipment.

There are loops and such that are part of the case, so I'll secure my rifle with velcro straps or something on top of clothes for padding.

My question is, can I just toss a holstered 10mm in there with it? Or should that be in it's own case?

I plan to remove the bolt, magazines and ammunition all in my 2nd bag with my pack. Open to any other suggestions too!

Thanks!

Put it in the case

Every year I travel from a very restricted state to SD with a shotgun and a pistol in a single case.
On departure I’ve had my locks broken and routinely wait a hour while airline personnel figure out how to deal with a firearm. But no one has ever given me a problem about having 2 guns in a single case.
