There are many previous threads about flying with long and hand guns here already. As I recall, a couple are particularly good, having cites for the various airline, FAA regs, and USCs.

Good advice. Dropping that case inside a nondescript soft luggage bag of some sort further obscures the contents.

Yup. Sometimes, less is more.
Denver (Frontier) is really good about flying with guns, never a problem.
Denver is excellent. Their TSA screeners have been good to me as well.

I have not been directed to show clear in recent memory, just asked if it was unloaded.Buckaroo
I've had ticket agents ask several times in the last year or two. Each time, I ask them if I understood them correctly...that they want me to handle a firearm in plain view of everyone in the terminal. Then, I politely decline until I speak with a supervisor or GSC, who have me sign the declaration card.
