Same here for Hawaiian.  Sometimes public belt but sometimes I have to go to the baggage office...after waiting 30 minutes and freaking out when it never comes out on the belt! 

One trip to Big Island on Hawaiian, I was on the same flight as a few buddies and all travelling with guns.  At the airport in Hilo and all of the cases came out except for mine.  Then the belt stops.  Check with the agent an they said all the bags are off the plane. . . after waiting for a while the agent noted it was coming on a following flight.  Talk about worry then   

Luckily, that route had flights coming in frequently, so I think I waited maybe another 30 mins

I’ve flown with firearms on Hawaiian Airlines before, and you’re right — they need to be unloaded and stored in a TSA-approved locked case. Ammunition in the original box inside the same case is allowed too. The check-in process was pretty straightforward but definitely give yourself extra time at the airport since they’ll inspect the case carefully.

Also, if you’re booking your flight, travelbusinessclass.com can help find good deals on business and first-class tickets, which makes traveling way more comfortable — especially when you have extra gear like firearms to manage.

I see it’s been a while since this was posted, but I’m curious if anyone who went through the process with HNL PD recently has tips or updates about the psych eval part—like how long it takes to get results or if it's more of a formality. Also wondering if anyone got tripped up by anything unexpected during the interview. Would be helpful to hear how your experiences went.

are you traveling with a firearm?
did you get red flagged?
sounds like you are worried about a PTA. if you are not red flagged then I wouldn't worry about it

There is no "eval".  The police take info from your primary doctor and what ever info you input on your form.  You must list your current primary and all prior ones.  Also if you have seen a mental health professional ever.  Then if you have, you need to disclose more info on the form.

  Yea...Sounds like he talking about Permit to Acquire and not related to Traveling with Firearms.

Usually when flying Hawaiian, i have TWO pelican cases inside one suit case.  One for firearm (Pistols- 1 or 2) and their mags.  The other is for the ammo im bringing back (7 boxes)

When flying back to hawaii, Hawaiian 9 out of 10 times will require me to weigh the ammo to show them that it's under 11 lbs.

Also note, on my last trip, i brought back a complete UPPER for my AR-15 (In a seperate pelican case).  That was an experience since it had to go to a "SIDE" TSA Screening area.

Usually no issues with Hawaiian.

Aloha!

Issues I've had:

1.  Can't store rounds in loaded magazines.  Though I've heard some people put the covers on their loaded pmags and it's good to go.
2.  Had a half-full bulk box of ammo.  TSA stopped it but let it go.  I can understand the issue if there's loose rounds rattling inside of the manufacturers box.
3.  Crowded airport and long lines, didn't make my flight as I didn't arrive early enough to check my guns in.

On a return trip from Washington State I brought back 3000 #209 shotgun primers (3 bricks bought in Texas) on Hawaiian and I had to show them that it was in it's original boxes and they weighed it to see if it was 11 lbs or under (could have bought another brick).  I flew on Alaska from Texas to Washington and Alaska allows 50 lbs of ammo in your checked bags.

Just checked in at Portland airport. No issues with 11lbs of ammo. Didn’t weigh or inspected. Just asked if boxed and if I had locks for my pelican case. Aloha

That’s a No Go just like Powder.   That agent could have gotten you in some serious trouble if TSA caught it.

TSA restrictions say loose primers (https://thekeeninsider.com/new-tsa-rules).  And according to a news article its allowed if packaged properly (https://www.enterprisenews.com/story/news/crime/2010/12/30/ammunition-primer-caps-aren-t/40207501007/)

Sorry last link may not work, i copied part of the article:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Orville Andrew Braham, the 37-year-old Stoughton man arrested Tuesday in Miami, was traveling with hundreds of ammunition primer caps in his checked baggage – cargo that isn’t prohibited on airplanes, but should have been packaged to prevent an explosion.

Authorities said Wednesday that they do not suspect Braham of an act of terrorism. He was charged by the Federal Bureau of Investigation with traveling in interstate commerce without a license to carry ammunition.

Braham, described as a naturalized United States citizen traveling to Jamaica from Logan International Airport in Boston, had checked two pieces of luggage with American Airlines, according to authorities.

One bag, a roll-on, exploded about 11:40 a.m. Tuesday when a baggage handler removed it from the airplane and placed it on the ground. The explosion caused shrapnel to be embedded in the baggage handler’s shoe and delayed four flights during an ensuing investigation, authorities said.

The Transportation Safety Administration said Wednesday that the ammunition primers are not prohibited in checked luggage but must be packaged correctly. Checking the packaging is the responsibility of the airline, the TSA said.

“You must securely pack any ammunition in fiber (such as cardboard), wood or metal boxes or other packaging that is specifically designed to carry small amounts of ammunition,” according to the TSA website.The FBI said both of Braham’s checked suitcases contained hundreds of ammunition primer caps. A cap is the back end of a bullet, the “spark plug” that provides ignition for the gunpowder.

Good idea. Any chance you keep slide open on lock when you declare it?

I already have my handguns dis-assemble (slide off), separate rifles (upper and lower), or remove rifles bolt before packing to go to airport.
Seems to make them "feel" better.
I also lock my pistol cases onto luggage via eye bolts.
