Looking at the meme about the Turkish Olympian, came a question. How do you bring weapon through borders ?
Sure for Olympian, it’s not a big deal, you may negotiate a “diplomatic suitcase” or have federation staff managing all the paperwork. But what about an amateur sport-shooter who want to travel to an event abroad. I imagine you can’t bring a gun to a plane, Do they just put them in the car and hope that nobody will check ? Do paperwork month in advance ?
Idk about internationally, but you can check a firearm on US domestic flights. You just declare it, and check it in as baggage. These guns for the Olympics are air pistols, so the policies are probably pretty lenient in most countries.
