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 ?

    Hunters fly with firearms sometimes. It just depends on the customs regulations. I’ve seen it at the airport. You check the bag and declare it. I’m sure there’s some amount of paperwork, depending on the country.
