Ladies and Gentlemen,

I just finished reading the article titled Have Guns, Can Still Travel by Silvio Calabi (page 46 in the most recent Dakota Firearms magazine/brochure).

There are several critical errors in the article.

It is US Customs Form 4457 - not Form 4455 as the article repeatedly states.

You can NOT complete this form on line as is indicated in the article. You must take your firearms to Customs and complete the Form 4457 so that Customs can verify the serial numbers on the form.

The airport code for Johannesburg International Airport is JNB - not JHN as indicated in the article.

Just wanted everyone to be aware of this, just in case you were planning on using that article as a guideline for traveling with firearms.

Regards,

Terry

Thanks for the observation! I had just read the article and kept the magazine for reference for my upcoming trip. I will print this off and attach it. P.S. are you the man I talk to about getting my Karma updated? Thanks, Lee.

Lee,

Go here Forum Suggestions and make a post and ask Don to change your status to "One of Us".

Regards,

Terry

You must be kidding. A guy writes an article on how to travel with firearms and misses this little tidbit of info?

Makes me wonder if he has ever traveled internationally in his life.

It is those tweed clothes he wears to the Vintagers conclave. The thread is treated with a chemical that attacks the memory center of the brain.
