Bringing spent cartridges on plane in checked bag

[JimP]

I had a harder time getting a rifle into Canada than I ever did getting one into South Africa, and that was with my permit form filled out for them.

What are you smoking? I don't live in a "county" and it's not a "county" courthouse. Yeah, these guys are a "problem" because they let me walk into a courthouse with an empty shotgun shell full of wood and a screw eye through the primer pocket. Oh, I guess I could jump up on a chair in the courtroom and wave my keychain in the air: "Everybody on the ground or I'll shoot. Uhh ... oh, sorry ... I forgot to bring a gun. Forget it. As you were." In my experience pimple-picking self-pontificating good ole boy local cops with the IQ of lint are usually a bigger "problem."

It don’t suprise me you did not have a problem.



The county where the guy I was talking about has a lot of problems right now.
That had nothing to do with you.


You having good people and not have a problem is not surprising.

Not sure about UK but Please, Please for the love of all things Safari pack them back in the locked box with the ammo! DO NOT be that smart ass (seen it too many times to count now)and think it's just inert brass and carry it in your carry on!
PS. I like your engraving idea!

This!!! Don't do as I did and end up in the windowless room with armed officers interogating you as to why you are carrying empty brass and bullets taken out of your Cape Buffalo!
All throughout the week after shooting my buffalo the other clients wanted to see but Barnes 300 Gr TSX bullets taken out of my buffalo. My plan was to bring the empty cases and spent bullets back and make a nice shadow box to display with my buffalo mount. I knew better but at the end of the week I threw them in my camera bag and was not thinking to put them back in my locked ammo box. Wrong move and for a while I was not sure I was going to get out of that locked and windowless room. It was definitely a little scary thinking about being locked up in Joberg. Needless to say my spent casings and bullets stayed with them in the room when they let me go and I definitely will not do that again!
