Manitoba R2X 2V6 SPEAKour PISTOLS ON PLANES: AA CAPTAIN SAYS OK I read Lucy's comments on firearms carriage aboard airlines and would suggest that you put American Airlines at the top of your list of air carriers. You stated that law enforcement personnel have lost their rights to be armed on aircraft. Not so on American. American permits Law Enforcement Officers to carry weapons aboard in the performance of his/her duties and makes special procedures for them to clear security. In addition, the Captain meets the armed person and is aware of his/her seat. I personally take very good care of all armed personnel when aboard and many times am able to get them preferential seating. In addition, no advance notification of firearms in checked luggage is required other than at point of check in that firearms are in checked luggage. The weapon must be unloaded, and if it is a handgun must be in a locked case only openable by the owner. Sporting rifles/ shotguns do not require a locked case. (Although I strongly recommend it.) You wi,]] find that American caters to the firearm owner with a courtesy not found on any other airline. Myself and many other of my pilot friends are avid gun owners and collectors and we welcome you to come see "what we do best." Ronald R. Brice Captain, American Airlines WIPE AWAY THE LEAD WITH CLOTH CLEANER In a recent issue of The American Handgunner, there was an article on the new Ruger Redhawk .44 magnum revolver. The author had much trouble getting rid of residues (from the bluing, I believe) from the barrel. He finally arrived at the right combination. I am having similar problems with my .44 magnum. Hoppe's No.9 solution will not work. I tried to find the magazine, but I have misplaced it somewhere. Any help you can give me on this matter will be greatly appreciated. Hashime Saito Tucson, Arizona Firstly, since the Ruger Redhawk is stainless steel, your problem would not be from bluing, but, rather, from leading. best product we have seen for removing lead residues is called Wipe Away and it's a cloth that is easy to use, and really works.
