The CZickness XVIII prepare for winter

[churchmouse]

Sorry for being grumpy everyone, I'm really not looking forward to leaving my family for 5-6 days, flying makes me nervous as hell and this whole pistol case thing just didn't help me at all.

We are flying tomorrow 1st time for me in a few years. Several years actually. I have spent a lot of time in the air and away from family. Racing/work. I get it.
I am not nervous at all. But if you do not hear from my or I do not return texts those of you that know where I live come see my daughter.....

Just saying

I was with him all night, drinking Coors Light in his garage while he made me clean his guns.

Ahhh, the good old days.

Maybe you should pm the combination for your safe. You know, so I can distribute the legacy pieces. Dad.

Have a safe trip amigo...

Thanks guys, I just struggle with working out the logistics of things like this. If my company would have just paid for a damn car rental, this would alleviate most of the issues for me.
The longest I've been away from my family is like a few days.

My longest recent trip was 12 days across the pond. Face time at bed time helps.

Rent a car for the last day. Problem solved.

Sorry to hear that. You'll get it sorted out. I've been thinking about the case club 5 gun cases, too.

Now you've got me interested in these... I'll have to check them out. I usually use these midwayUSA bags along with my MidwayUSA range bag (I buy them when they are on sale, and actually need another currently)

Haven't used a hard case in quite some time, but might have to look at these. I normally take 3 handguns to the range when I go.

Is this where we talk about M&P's?

...or Sig MPX's??

M&P's ... I'm in.

Safe travels.
I'm no fan of travel for work (have to do it a few times a year), or air travel (on someone else's schedule, etc)

I use the Midway competition bag and stuff it to the gills.

T-DOGG, I hope your trip goes well. I also hate flying, but have flown quite a few times. Thankfully it's been about 4 years since I've been on a plane. I think part of my hatred for it is getting anxious that something will go wrong and I'll miss my flight or connection - I was stranded in O'Hare for 8 hours on Christmas Day one year, so it's kind of influenced my negative opinion.

Hopefully it'll be a simple flight for you without any hangups.

Not sure it's worth it for 5-6 hours. I was suggested Uber instead of cabs. I hate relying on other people for stuff like this. I'm really backwards when it comes to things that seem so normal to everyone else. Sheltered childhood I guess.

Yep, it's a good bag. I love mine. I just don't put guns in it. Ammo, extra ears & eyes, along with my primary eye & ear protection, along with mags, etc.

Thank you for the kind words. Thankfully this is a direct flight from Ft. Wayne to Dallas/Ft.Worth.

I'm the same way. I'm a good bit older than you, and just did the Uber/Lyft thing on my last work trip several times. Had never done it before that trip. Worked out pretty well.

I have yet to fly with a checked firearm though. Just haven't had the occasion to do so, really. I know lots of folks here do it.

I have slept in an airport before. Lay over between connections and I snoozed off in the chair. You would think some caring soul would have woke me as I have done this a few times for other weary travelers. But no. **** heads left me sleep. I woke half an hour after the plane went wheels up. And they refused to come back and get me....

Had to make another connection the next morning. That trip sucked.

Back in the 80’s I was traveling over 150 days a year, flying about 200 hours a year....I miss flying..

You're just outside of your comfort zone.
You can either put the pistol case inside big luggage, the duffle bag big enough to put a body in, or tell coworkers the locked case is for your lap top. You've got this, just might have to improvise a little.

TD & CM, have a great trip...
