Traveling with Firearms and Ammunition

Firearms

No person may carry on or about his person a deadly or dangerous weapon, either concealed or unconcealed, while traveling on board an aircraft operated by KaiserAir. Only officials or employees of a Federal, State, County, or municipality, or DASSP ASO's who are authorized to carry firearms, may carry firearms on board KaiserAir aircraft.
 
No person may carry a deadly or dangerous weapon in their checked baggage on an aircraft operated by KaiserAir.  The following exceptions are permitted:

  • The person has notified the Ground Security Coordinator prior to checking the baggage that there is in fact a weapon therein and states positively that the weapon is unloaded.

  • · The weapon is in a hard sided container. Hard sided containers used to transport your unloaded firearm must be designed to prevent any access or to be partially opened.  For example: cases with a single center lock point are not acceptable for travel because the ends of the case could be pried open and therefore not secured.

  • The person assures that the baggage is locked and only that person has the key.

  • That baggage is stowed in the baggage compartment that is inaccessible to passengers and crew during flight.

Ammunition

  • Ammunition is prohibited in carry-on baggage but may be transported in checked baggage.

  • Firearm magazines and ammunition clips, whether loaded or empty, must be securely boxed or included within a hard-sided case containing an unloaded firearm.

  • Small arms ammunition for personal use only (up to .75 caliber and shotgun shells of any gauge) must be packaged in a fiber (such as cardboard), wood, plastic, or metal box specifically designed to carry ammunition and declared to your airline.

  • Ammunition may be transported in the same hard-sided, locked case as a firearm if it has been packed as described above. You cannot use firearm magazines or clips for packing ammunition unless they completely enclose the ammunition. Firearm magazines and ammunition clips, whether loaded or empty, must be boxed or included within a hard-sided, locked case. 

  • Please check with KaiserAir Flight Operations for quantity limits for ammunition.

United States Code, Title 18, Part 1, Chapter 44, firearm definitions includes: any weapon (including a starter gun) which will, or is designed to, or may readily be converted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive; the frame or receiver of any such weapon; any firearm muffler or firearm silencer; and any destructive device. As defined by 49 CFR 1540.5 a loaded firearm has a live round of ammunition, or any component thereof, in the chamber or cylinder or in a magazine inserted in the firearm.
