1minute,
I'm old enough to remember being asked to carry my Browning Superposed shotgun & a case of shells ABOARD an American Airlines flight from NY to Dallas, because the ticket clerk didn't want to accept the shotgun/case of shells..
Every NYPD officer, who saw me struggling though the AP, wanted me to open the case & to LOOK AT it.
Finally a "4-stripe Captain" came along, asked me if he could help & when I said, "YES please, Captain", he summoned a pair of A-A uniformed folks to relieve me of the burdens.
When we arrived at the gate, he introduced me to the Captain of our flight to Dallas. Thereafter, the Captain of our flight offered to lock up the shotgun & shells aboard & I said (THANKFULLY), "Yes, please". = Had he NOT done that, I would have had to hold the case of shells on my lap!!!
yours, tex
