On the subject of firearms and checking, please note that if you by
any chance arrive at a Massachusetts airport and take possession of
you check firearm, the mandatory minimum sentence is 1 year in
prison. This applies to all firearms, not just handguns.
So, check your clothes, carry your photo gear, and don't think of
using a firearm as a way of increasing security of check luggage.
If you have to travel with one, then do so, if you don't, then don't.
Or, alternatively, don't go to Massachusetts, ever.
(I really thought I had adequately pounded on the need to be legal at
every spot you touched, and the importance of knowing the local laws,
already.)
