Howdy,
I'm considering purchasing a new paintball gun whilst in the states in the next 2-3 weeks. It's most likes going to have some kind of electrinic grip, possibly an AMG.
Now, I'm very concerned about the transportation of any type of marker from the States to England at the moment given the current political climate. I know that it is possible to check in your marker at the airport. But how do you check it in?
I'm pretty sure they wouldn't allow you to just shove it in your normal bag and away you go. Do you need to have it locked in some kind of seperate carry case and then ask for a firearms sticker and slap that on it or how should it be treated??
The last time I tried to fly with a standard marker (nothing electric) I was told that anything resembling a gun in my bag would automatically be stopped. Therefore I had to quickly remove it from my bag and get a relatvie to mail my marker from the states, but that's expensive and always the risk of customs nabbing it.
How do you travelling 'baller out there do it? Any advice on the specifics of how you would check in your marker at the airport would be greatly appreciated so I recieve as little hassle as possible from the clueless clerk who thinks my paintball marker is as dangerous as a bomb from Osama.
Thanks.
