Have the opportunity to hunt in Texas this fall. So I called my local ATF branch, Manchester, NH, and asked what is required for travel with a can. My neighboring state, Massachusetts, does not let you own a can, but Boston is the major airport. He was very helpful and even checked with ATF legal to ensure he had answers.
Here's what I was told today and I hope this helps those wondering:
-They are considered a firearm and need to be checked with your firearm/luggage.
-You do not need to inform the ATF that you will be traveling out of state with your can.
-Fly out of your state that allows you to own a can.
-If you will have fly out of an airport in a state that does not allow you to own a can, your options are to ship it to yourself and pick it up at your destination in a locked box or roll the dice to see if the TSA or local state police will inspect your bag when checking in at the airport.
I would check with your local branch also.
