Try flying in and out of California with a gun. Hell, try telling the guy at the State line you're traveling with a gun in your vehicle. 

 

Everyone is quoting the "letter of the Law". Do you really think employees know the "letter of the Law". 

I guess California has it's own problems.  Trap shooters fly all over the rest of the states with shotguns without issues.

Flying with firearms within the US is also possible, as long as they are in a locked container in the cargo hold.
